I'm thinking of getting a different band saw and have been looking at the rikon 10-325 14.Does anyone have one and what are your likes or dislikes.
Thanks for any info

I don't have one..but there is one for sale on craigslist.. I Google searched Rikon 10-325 and read a few reviews, lots of reviews to read if you look. I already have 2 bandsaws and may replace my old dependable 1/2 hp 12" Craftsman saw or put a bigger motor on it.... My other saw is a 2hp 1073 16" Grizzly. I want one saw to cut glass and one for wood only
I have a rikon, no complaints.When I bought it it was a great value compared to others out there. I dont know what they go for now.
I have a big 18" Rikon.
I bought from a guy on E bay for 1/2 price. Still in the crate.
I love it. Lots of power and runs true and smooth.
I can slice and rip anything I need to with this saw.
All of the feature work well and after 6 yrs I has a small casting crack, I called them and they knew who I was before I told them, the man said OK we will get that right out. 3 days and I had my part installed with zero cost to me.
Hope this helps

Ive had the 14 10-325 for 3 years now. From re-sawing to veneers its been flawless. Excellent power too.
Have a few roller guides on hand for spares. Two of mine have given up the bearings in a year.
There is a new model 10-350 14" which FIne Woodworking Magazine say is Excellent. Bue--.
