I doubt it's as good as a Jet
it's Chinese also, but then again isn't everything now  |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Mike, I don't know about the lathe but I have seen other Rikon machines and they are really well built. In Hyannis they sell Rikon and the mini band saw is really really nicely done.
My Jet mini is really fine too.
|
Why even try.........

well the band saw may look nice, but I have one and I can't get a wider blade on it, the setting is just a poor design. |
