DWSUDEKUM Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 I just purchased and set up a Rikon 10-305 10" bandsaw. It is heads above what I was using. So much nicer than the Ryobi that I wore out. The Rikon is made good and solid with very little in the way of plastic. It uses roller bearings for the blade guides and follower. Well worth the $285 paid out for it. I did not get the stand this is a stock photo from Rikon.

Ron Johnson Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Congrats DW. Nice looking saw and great price. I've been using a 9" Craftsman bench top for the past 20 years. It does what I need it to but there are times I wish I had a larger one. Unfortunately my shop isn't large enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 I have an import band saw I got in 1980 and it has given me no problems at all so I am hoping that you have as much success with your new saw as I have had with mine. It is always exciting to get a new tool. Many happy cutting ahead. Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sycamore67 Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 I have that saw and love it. I also put the Carter Stabilizer blade guide on it. They make it so you can cut very tight corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Scroller Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 I can see a few bandsaw boxes coming our way, I'm still cutting wood to make some on mine but great for cutting up logs. Roly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Congrats, I have a nice 14" with a riser block on it for resawing, but I would love to have one of these smaller bandsaws also. It would be great for things a little too big for the scroll saw, but not so big that I want to change the blade on the 14" to do. I hate changing blades on a band saw. I find myself looking for other ways of cutting things so I don't have to mess with changing the blade on the band saw. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DW Jolett made a pattern for me for a customer that has a ryobe ,Brand new band saw he is willing to trade for the pattern of his cat cut.What a day and night difference from my old chinese saw.Oh the times i had to but the blade back on .Never happens with the new saw.Enjoy!
