With all due respect I have the greatest wife ever. As those who follow my post know too well the bandsaw that I have access to through the local carving club is old and unreliable on thicker cuts. Tracking off by as much as inch on a 6” cut. I think it was about the time I did the T Swift snap off cutout that my wife suggested I buy a bandsaw. Despite my explanation of the cost, that I really only need such a saw a few times a year and the space it would take up in the garage. She really became quite insistent in fact telling me that if I didn’t pick one I’d end up with the one she choose. Ended up with a Rikon 10-324tg can cut through wood up to 13” thick.

Great looking saw Ed. Like Joe said, I bet you use it a lot more than you need to. They are a handy tool to have. I just have a small Shopsmith. It max thickness is 6 “. I use it a lot. I wood love to have a larger one.We live in the land of the free because of the brave! Semper Fi

Great gift, D! These new TVs are too complicated for me, I don't have the patience to learn how to use them...that's my wife's area of expertise, with an assist from our son across the street when necessary!Originally posted by DiLeon View PostArthurComment

That's awesome. That is a great band saw. The 13 inch resaw capacity and all the features are what sold me on it. I had a similar experience with my wife insisting I get it.
I would have expected you used a band saw way more than a few times a year ....I bet you will be now.Comment

I can be a little cheap. I’m sure the consensus that I will use this more often than I think is true. Looking back I’ve only started eight carvings this year so that was my thought process.Originally posted by 4ND3R5 View Post
However with this acquisition the carving club is changing how we buy wood. In the past we bought a few larger blocks and a bunch of smaller bits we thought likely to be used. Unfortunately we had a punch of smaller bits that seem to just miss being what someone needs. We now have bought several large pieces 4inches x 6inches x 4foot one which I keep at my house. Members can call or text and I will cut a piece to match their project. So yes it will see more use.

Congratulations, Ed. If it doesn't track true, get a Timberwolf blade for it. http://www.suffolkmachinery.com
