  Good one Steve. I am going to take George out to my shop right now and test all of my machines.

I'm not giving up yet. I've talked with Rikon tech support. I'm gonna give em a week to tell me what the "fix" is. If I don't like what I hear, there's a WW show coming up in Charlotte in 11 days!! Maybe I'll look at Minimax? | |

There has been lots of talk on every woodworking web site that I visit on the subject of bandsaws. I owned a Delta 14" machine for many years and had absolutely no problems with it. But I got the itch for something bigger with more power and resaw capacity.
I went with the Laguna LT18 in August '01 and sold the Delta. Mucho power with the 3 horse powerplant, foot brake. The big cast iron wheels give a flywheel effect, helping to pull those 1" blades through thick timbers like a hot knife through butter. The newer versions have 18" resaw capacity where mine has 12". Were I to have to get a new bandsaw, I would go with the same machine without a second thought. I know the bandsaws in this category are pricier, but I will never have to upgrade to a larger machine again.
I am not a Laguna salesperson, just a satisfied customer.
Good luck with your decision and watch those fingers. | |
