Yes and that is a very nice saw too. However some folks just don't need all that saw.

Well let me put it this way. I had a Delta 14" bandsaw for 25 years. Never need anything bigger than that untill I got into re-sawing exotic woods. Not only for the capacity but the HP. Now some folks have no intention of re-sawing but if they do on occasion that Rikon has a 13" re-saw capacity. That's why I think for someone looking for a good all around bandsaw for their shop this fits the bill very nicely. Wouldn't you all agree?

Does that mean I have to send you all of the left overs now so you can re-saw braces and stuff out of it?!

Hope you are well Mikey!

I got one for Christmas. Haven't pushed it to hard yet but seems to be every thing I need for now. If I get into heavy resaw work, a bigger one would be nice but like Bob C says, it is just right for the occasional resawer.(is that a word?)

I have seen the ads in fine woodworking and elsewheres for Rikon. How long they been around? I wanna build harp guitars, dreds, and oms, is the 14 good enough? Don't plan on resawing...
