I'm coming to grips with the fact that when i ordered a Rikon 10-347 back in early July, I actually was buying myself an Xmas present. Every couple of weeks, I get an email from Rockler bumping out the expected shipping date - at this point, given Eric Loza's posts about the European bandsaw shipping issues and the general lack of availability of the alternatives I considered (mainly the Laguna 18bx), I'm thinking that I'm not seeing the bandsaw until the end of the year at best. The only place that appears to have larger bandsaws in stock is Grizzly. Is there any reason for believing Rikon's backorders will arrive before the end of the year? Anyone hear of a distributor with a warehouse full of half-price European bandsaws just waiting by the phone for someone to call? As a hobbyist, I can afford to wait and there is, obviously, a global pandemic. But man, did I pick a bad time to upgrade the ole' bandsaw front or what!
