“When I ordered this, there was no listed delay. Days later, I was notified that it would be 2 months delayed. Then it got pushed 3 weeks. Then another 2 weeks. The estimated ship date keeps getting pushed back and if I had known that this would be the case, I would have ordered something else. Projects are stacking up and who knows when it will actually arrive.”

“I purchased this Rikon 10-326 bandsaw from the Woodcraft store in Woodbridge, Illinois. The staff at this store location were extremely helpful. The bandsaw has far exceeded my expectations. Tool free bearing adjustment is one of the many great features of this model. Resaw capacity and dust collection are superb. The fence stays true after installation and alignment. Rikon also offers a 5 year warranty unlike most manufacturers. I had one small issue and contacted Rikonâ€™s customer service and they corrected the issue straight away. Great saw for the money.”

“I bought a Rikon 10-326 just after Christmas, brought it home, and started the assembly process. After getting it most of the way done I learned that Rikon had not included the bolts to attach the table top to the saw. I called, they said they'd send them right over. January 8th... called again. January 13th... Still no bolts. I spoke with their guy who said that they are out of stock on the bolts and they'd send when they have them. After asking a few questions, I drove to Lowes, bought M8 bolts (standard fare) and installed the table. The saw is very well made, cuts very well in my initial test cuts yesterday, and is rock solid, except for the very poor customer service experience. Perhaps I'll revise this review when I do finally get the bolts (February?). That's the one black mark on an otherwise great product thus far.”

“High quality Bandsaw with great resaw capability. I gave it a four star rating for a couple of reasons, over all I am very happy with the purchase. I did encounter a couple of very annoying issues with a brand-new Bandsaw. Upon unpacking I found the table with a substantial amount of rust on both the top and side, clearly it was either packed wet or was subject to a substantial amount of rain. The table did have a plastic bag surrounding it and was packed in some sort of Cosmoline or oil but water got in some way. I was able to sand and use steel wool to remove most of the oxidation / rust a stain is still visible. I also found nuts and washers at the bottom of the Styrofoam packing just thrown in there without any packaging. Like I said the bandsaw is a major upgrade to what I am used to using and I am thrilled with the accuracy and the power. The rack and Pinion Guide bar is a nice option but it does require guide bearing adjustment from top to bottom of travel. I also did purchase the mobile base for the Bandsaw, but i was disappointed with its functionality. When the stationary wheels are assembled to the base it inhibits the Storage cabinet door from opening past 60Â°. How a product like this gets past engineering and into production without this being noticed Is inexcusable. Both the engineer and the CEO of the company should be Flogged and then fired, no questions asked. To make the storage compartment functional the wheels will have to be extended outward requiring angle iron extensions. My shop is small so for certain functions I do need to move the saw. When this saw is in motion it is a little tippy to the front.”

“I just received my new bandsaw, and while assembling it I found that the front right corner of the table was covered with heave rust deposits. I contacted Rikon and found them to be very willing to solve this issue. They are sending me a new table. The person I talked with was Raymond Middleton, and he was very courteous, friendly, and helpful. A pleasure to do business with. I completed the assemble and setup of my new bandsaw, then made a few test cuts. This saw cuts beautifully. Nice even, straight cuts. No wobbling or drifting of the blade. Very smooth running a quiet, as power equipment goes. You cannot go wrong with this saw.”

“In my previous review i had no problem obtaining a part that was not with the saw. Recently I have a problem and i am having problems getting Rikon to answer or address the problems i am having. I am having second thoughts keeping this saw and buying another brand. I heard customer service at Rikon had improved but now i am not so sure!”
