Hello Everybody,
I am thinking about buying the large model of Rikon bandsaw Lee Valley is selling.
It appears to be a well made saw, any opinions/experiences?
What other place than here to ask this question?
Thanks in advance,
Chico

I own a 10-325 and am overall very happy with it. The quality is very good and if you ever need it, their customer service dept. is excellent.

I have the Rikon 10-345 18" bandsaw. I've had it for many years.
Excellent bandsaw. I've used the 10-325 14" bandsaw. Another excellent bandsaw.

That looks similar too the one I've used at the Folk School (I could be wrong about the model #). It works well.
I chose the 10-345 because I wanted a beefy bandsaw.
As I said, mine has worked fine and the one I've used at the Folk School has also performed well.

That model replaced the 10-325.
