The RIKON 10" Bandsaw is ideal for hobby or light duty workshop use. Its frame and doors are constructed of heavy-duty gauge steel. Featuring ball-bearing blade guides and edge-facing thrust bearings so the edge of the bearing runs against the blade, preventing bearing wear. Built with a 2-5/16" dust port, tire cleaning brush, four mounting holes, and a safety toggle switch with a removable key. The cast-aluminum table has a miter slot and built-in scale.

Bottom Line:

This is a nice saw. Two minor negarives:

1. The bottom bearing is a bit difficult to get at
2. I've had a bit of a challenge tracking very small blades (1/8 inch). One suggestion with small blades is to try to keep very small blades on the down hill side of the wheel (toward the operator) so that you are pushing the bade up-hill was you cut. Also make sure the blade is cut to the right length - small blades that are slightly too long seem harder to track.

RIKON 10-300 10" Bandsaw

By Brian

from Waukesha, WI on 3/14/2007

Pros:

Good Value

Cons:

Low Quality, Table and Trunnions

Best Uses:

hobby , Intarsia

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very good Saw! only complain is the weak and a not so even and straight Table and weak trunnion ... Had to clamp 1/4 hardboard to table to get a smooth surface so I the wood would not get caught in between the cut-out insert and table. Just wish I had a smoother and stronger table, else it is a good saw for the money.
