Rikon 10-305 review



Check latest price on amazon

 

A motor is included in the saw which has 1/3HP AND 3.5amp. Generally, the motor is enough for a band saw. Just remember, 1/3HP motor is a powerful motor.

The motor produces a speed that is 2,780 ft/min. Because the band saw’s voltage is 115V and it can create a high speed easily with this voltage.

If I explain to you about 1/3HP then I have to tell you more things. So, I think we should skip it. There is also a fence that is on this machine. Moreover, there are micro-adjustable guideposts in height.  Have a 2-1/2-inch dust port which keeps your workplace clean from wood powder or dust.

There is great news that is, the Rikon brand will provide you a warranty for five years with this saw. Isn’t it fantastic?

What are you thinking about now? The matters I have written above, aren’t these fine? Don’t these things make a saw perfect?

If you know about a band saw then you can understand it. But if you do not know then you should follow my guidelines. The things I have written in the description, everything makes it a perfect saw. So you have to remember that.

Ohh….  I did not tell you about weight. It is 76 pounds or 34.4 kg. Very heavy and strong machine.

Listen, I am telling you more things. It has a wheel fitted with a motor. It holds the karate blade around it, and the wheel rotates when the motor rotates. Yeah! I will tell and explain to you that.

Motor, Wheels and blade

ricon band saw wheel

Just follow the image. What are you seeing?

See, how the blade is around two wheels. When the motor is started then also the wheel that is below rotates. Because the downward wheel is connected to the motor. Ok, you can see the blade is situated around these two wheels.  In this way, the motor runs and the blade also run by wheels. So you can see, there is a place for woodcutting.

See this image, here you have to keep the wood and the blade will cut it. So, are you clear about this matter?

I hope you are understanding whatever I said.

Anyway, the motor and blade are amazing. Honestly, these will give you long-lasting performance. This is the truth that many users are satisfied with this motor and blade. Even they are happy to work with this saw. Do not worry, you will also be happy.

The blade width is 1/8” – 1/2” and length is 70-1/2”. And, the deep cutting capacity is 4-5/8” and 9-5/8” HIGHT/WIDTH.

If the blade breaks by any accident, can you buy another original blade?

Yes, you can get original from the marker. Actually there is no chance to break the blade without any accident.

Ohh… I forgot to tell this, the motor is opposite the lower wheels of the machine.

In the 2nd picture, you can see the system for wood cutting. The place is made perfect. You can do any type of design on the wood and cut the wood. I do not know what you will design but it just says you can do a perfect design. That is why this saw is 100% perfect for you.

Besides, Rikon 10-305 has proved itself as a user-friendly saw. Because the users feel comfortable to work with Rikon 10-305. If you are not believing me then you can check the customer reviews from Amazon or another platform.

Iron table and weight

Weight is also perfect. Weight is 76 pounds that mean 94.4 kg.  You will situate the saw in a place. So you do not need lightweight. Rather you will be benefited by the heavy weight.

Why is the saw weighted?

Because it is a big saw and all parts are heavy, strong and good quality. So every good parts make it heavy. This is a very good thing.

Rikon 10-305 table

Rikon 10-305 band saw’s table is very strong. You will keep the material on this table at the time of your woodworking. The table size is 13-3/4” x 12-1/2” length and width. The miter gauge is (1) 5/8” x 1/4”.

There is a strong and heavy fence guide in the table and it is 13-1/2” x 1” x 2”. The fence guide holds strongly the wood so that it can not move. Height to the floor is 39-7/8” and height to the base is 14-1/2”.

Whatever, your will get a smooth and st performance from this table. Also, you can work with comfort. 🙂

FAQ

Will there be any problem to move the saw for high weight?

Answer: No! Rather, you will move it without any damage.

Can it cut the metal?

Answer: You could do that. But if you cut metal then saw blade could be broken. Because it is made for woodcutting, not for metal.

Is it suitable for budget?

 Answer: Of course, the saw is under 400$

At last

This is overall and ending of Rikon 10-305 review

I have written this review with enough research. I wanted to give you the right information so that you can choose it easily. If you do not like this saw after reading my review then ok, do not buy this. If you think this saw is not perfect for you then avoid it. But do not tell any negative without evidence.

So, guys, my opinion is that this saw is perfect for professional worker. I do not know what you will think. But it is really good.

Ok. So if you use it then you have to take care. For example, you can clean it, disconnect from electricity after finishing work, etc. then you will get more long-lasting.

Oohh,, You also get any part in the market if you need to change.

That’s all. Now everything will depend on your decision. Thank you to read my Rikon 10-305 review… 🙂 🙂
