No I don't have one and won't be getting one anytime that I can see, but it sure looks like a honey.

I agree with your opinion - so give us some more info - I see nothing about this saw on the Rikon website. -
That's a beast, all right. Add one of those big honkin' HTC roller outfeed tables to it, and you're crankin'.Comment

Morning Ken...
What size motor.. what size blade.. does it have a scoring knife? I have to dis-agree with their theory of opting for more up front instead of a true quick release riving knife. They could have just extended the table in the rear and added it and ended up with a better machine.
I agree that it looks nice on paper with that slider, but I have found from experience that not all sliders are engineered as well as others. After checking the nice looking Grizzly slider TS at the IWF last fall, I think that some improvements would have to be in order before I chose it over a reasonably priced Rojek with 5 HP.. slider.. scoring knife.. quick release riving knife. Grizzly will hopefully improve the short-coming as they did with their jointers and are slowly doing with the current crop of BS's.
Not trying to sound negative.. just pointing out that when you spend that kind of money, the decision should not be based on how well the machine looks in a picture. And it does look beautiful on the surface.. but so did my first wife. ha.. ha... ha..ha..ha..
I think you get the picture...
