Two Speeds for Different Cutting Applications
With a 13-inch cutting capacity and two speed settings, the RIKON 14-Inch Deluxe Bandsaw can be used for a variety of applications. The 1,445-feet/minute setting is ideal for hardwoods, some plastics, and non-ferrous metals, while the 2,950-feet/minute setting can be used for other woodworking applications.
Convenient Features Increase Functionality
A large, 16-inch by 21-1/2-inch table provides plenty of additional work space during woodcutting operations. You can also easily tilt and lock the table into place with the solid cast table trunnion. A convenient tool storage cabinet at the bottom of the unit gives you a place to keep extra blades, jigs, or other tools.
Heavy Duty, Adjustable Rip Fence
An included rip fence can be mounted on either the right or left side of the blade, and a re-saw bar can be attached to help correct any blade wandering during re-sawing. You can easily correct the fence for blade drift by turning the adjustment collars and fence bolts.
Quick-Release Blades and Viewing Windows for Easy Adjustments
It's easy to assemble, operate, and adjust the RIKON 14-Inch Deluxe Bandsaw with the helpful manual, blade selection guide, and wheel adjustment tip sheet. Inset windows allow you to check the centering of the blade as well as the tension of the blade, so you can keep your operation running smoothly and accurately. You can also quickly release blade tension when changing blades or when the machine is off to help increase the life of the blade.
Dust Port Keeps Work Area Clean
The 4-inch dust port helps you keep dust out of the air when you attach your dust collection system to the port opening.
The RIKON 10-325 14-Inch Deluxe Bandsaw is backed by a manufacturer's two-year limited warranty.

Brown (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews This review is from: Rikon 10-325 14-Inch Deluxe Band Saw (Tools & Home Improvement) 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...Read more 34 of 34 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Rikon 10-325 14-Inch Deluxe Band Saw (Tools & Home Improvement) This saw is a very much needed upgrade to my Shopsmith 11". So far I've put the machine together, aligned it and made several test cuts which include re-sawing a 6" oak plank and turning a 4x4x12" block of cedar into a cylinder. I am VERY impressed! I will come back a year from now and write more detailed comments on the operations, but I thought I would leave my comments on assembly and first impressions while they were fresh in my mind. Any criticisms I have right now are on the level of nit-picking. I am overjoyed with this tool.
Unpacking hints: This machine is shipped in one carton that weighs in just short of 260lbs. I am not a weak person but found it a bear to manipulate. 2 cartons, 1 containing the saw body and 1 containing everything else would be more reasonable. Unpacking the saw I would suggest you take everything but the saw out of the carton then stand the carton up and walk the saw out rather than trying to lift it out of the box. You will...Read more 30 of 31 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Rikon 10-325 14-Inch Deluxe Band Saw (Tools & Home Improvement) I purchased this saw 2 years ago based on a review in Woodworkers Journal. It has performed extremely well. It is very powerful and rock solid. Has a good sized heavy cast iron table. Huge re-saw capacity, but I would not want to test it out with the fence provided. As stated in the other reviews, the fence does not match up to the quality of the rest of the saw. The measurement gauge requires a decal I had to stick on the fence bar myself. Granted, I don't use the fence much as I am cutting curves and shapes most often. The adjustments for the blade guides are a bit difficult to learn how to use the first time due to skimpy instructions and photos. Also the guides can move when you tighten down the lock screws. The lower guides are also a bit difficult to get to but I don't see an easy way for the manufacturer to get around that. All other adjustments are simple and straightforward.
Make sure you get good blades. The one that comes with it is adequate. I...Read more |
