Rikon 14" Bandsaw

[Gofor]

For owners, evidently there is a problem coming to light with the bottom wheel adjustment. Saw this on another web site and here is the Rikon link for proper adjustment. Some have found stripped adjustment bolts when they checked,

I believe Ed(nelsone) had this problem with his Rikon. Thanks for posting the link. I'm sure he'll pick it up if he hasn't already.

Thanks for posting. I found that link last night and I am going to do my adjustment this morning. It looks fairly simple.

I do have a problem and found that bottom adjustment screw stripped. Please let me know where you heard about the stripping problem.

Just a follow up. I did the adjustments and it took no more than twenty minutes. One adjustment set the other out of wack a bit but a little back and forth and it's all set.

I also did a blade change and adjusted all the rollers and stuff. It's really a very nice bandsaw. In the near future, I will install the cool blocks.
