Comments about Rikon Rikon Deluxe Bandsaw 14 Inch:

I bought this after fighting another brand of saw for a couple years. I did learn how to set-up and tune so it wasn't all wasted time. This bandsaw with a great blade is like buttah! The stock blade sucks, toss it and buy one of the top rated ones. I would recommend this saw to all beginners as it is well made and forgiving. My advice: Buy the best saw you can possibly afford. Skip the junk and go straight to safe and beautiful cuts. There are others of course but this saw will do the job.

Comments about Rikon Rikon Deluxe Bandsaw 14 Inch:

Other than being a bit under-powered for resawing hardwoods, this band saw is great. No problems with blade tension release. I have used it for over a year and it stays aligned perfectly. It cuts smoothly without vibration. Lots of cutting capacity for the price too.

Bad Tensioning Adj

By Thors Hammer from Dyer In. on 4/5/2008

Describe Yourself:

Do-It-Yourself

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Rikon Rikon Deluxe Bandsaw 14 Inch:

Fit and finish was below what I expected. Worst part is the quick release tensioning. After releasing tension 1 day and re-tensioning the next, the upper wheel does not go back to the same exact place which means the guides must be re set each time you re- tension the blade a total waste of time . Very Upset
