Like most people shopping for a band saw, I spent a lot of time on various websites, user discussion groups, etc. It’s enough to make your head spin–so many choices. When I actually saw the old style (cast iron frame) 14″ band saws next to the Rikon Deluxe 14″ saw, it was immediately clear that this machine is in a separate class–there’s no comparing the cast iron frame saws to this beast. It’s bigger, more refined, has as much power as the best of them, and has a huge resaw capacity (that exceeds the cast iron models with riser block installed). When you start adding up the bit$ and piece$ required to bring a cast iron frame near the specs of this saw, you’ll see that those saws aren’t really cheaper. Set-up was no particular problem, but the manual for this saw is absurdly bad. It would be a bad manual for a crummy, cheap saw, but it’s an embarrassment to have such a horrible manual for such a nice machine. Instructions are sparse. Hardware does not match illustrations/descriptions (those few that there are). In spite of this, if you are semi-mechanically inclined (as I hope you are if you’re buying a band saw), you can figure it out.
