    Rikon 10-325 14" deluxe bandsaw - $699 @ Woodcraft

    The Grizzly promotions are also terrific, but this is a great price on a beautiful piece of machinery if you have a local store (shipping would add $75).

    Price good through June 26th.

      When I bought mine, a local shop matched the WoodCraft price. Keep that in mind too....never hurts to support the local guy.
      If you can read this you assembled wrong.

        The Woodcraft here is the local guy. It's a franchise store that's locally owned.

        Good price on that bandsaw also. I paid more than that for mine 2 years ago.

          I've owned a 14" deluxe probably from when it first went on sale. It's a great BS except for two things.

          The owner's manual really sucks, but they got/had great tech support who would spend all the time you needed to work around the lousy manual.

          The other "flaw is the adjustment procedure for the guide bearings. Unlike Carter's after market bearings (which I'll probably purchase when I have an extra $200.00 floating around, you need to use a wrench to do part of the adjustment, it's slow and annoying if you constantly change blades,

          Lately, I've been hearing that Rikon's quality control has dropped big time. To the point the some of the few local dealers have given up carrying the line.

          Now I haven't experienced this personally, I assume it's something to take into mind when contemplating a purchase of any of their equipment.
