Rikon - Rikon- No. 10-350 14-in Bandsaw
Sep 29, 2011
Rikon’s new 14-in. bandsaw (No. 10-350) packs a towering 14 in. of resaw capacity into its European-style frame. It offers two motor options: a 2.5-hp Rikon motor made overseas for $1,499, and an Arkansas-made, 3-hp Baldor motor that adds $300 to the price. Other key features are blade guides with a toolless microadjust, heavy-duty trunnions, a stiff upper guide post, a lower-vibration belt, and a much bigger table than other 14-in. saws have.

This precision square is incredibly versatile, from checking squareness to dialing in machine setups.
Ridgid R4331 Planer
Priced nearly $300 less than the DeWalt 735X, the Ridgid R4331 is an excellent value. Its three-knife cutterhead left wonderfully clean surfaces on plainsawn white oak and white pine. It did not perform nearly as well on curly maple as the 735X.
Rockler Dust Right 650 CFM
While all five of the smaller units will collect chips efficiently when deployed properly, the 3/4-hp Rockler was just a bit more powerful in our suction test.
