Despite the warped base, once properly shimmed out, this saw performs far better than expected and the overall build quality and functionality are very good. While I have yet to have an opportunity to cut any eight-inch laminated maritime support beams, I have cross-cut and re-sawed various hard and soft woods up to three and one-half inches thick.
The Excellent:
1. Heavy sturdy construction.
2. Tracking adjustments do not require a PhD in Spatial Quantum Mechanics.
3. Dust port allows for the removable of most dust.
4. A cast iron table that in my case was flat and square.
5. Small footprint (compared to its larger sized cousins.)
The Good:
1. It includes a fence that can be adjusted properly at least eight times out of 10.
2. The Miter slot is adequately milled. (Although it is a non-standard size.)
2. Drift has remained almost constant.
3. Overall value versus other 10-inch band saws.
4. The included directions and parts lists DO NOT require the Rosetta Stone to read.
The Bad:
1. The included blade - at least in my case. It cut like someone had used it to re-saw cement blocks and afterwards smashed the teeth with a pneumatic jack-hammer for good measure. Do yourself a favor a purchase a POWERTEC 13181X as a replacement.
2. No stand included.
3. Miter gauge not included.
Conclusion: A great addition to your garage/home workshop.

Conclusion: A great addition to your garage/home workshop.
Assembly was super easy. The instruction manual had just the right amount of detail and was written in an understandable way (Which is important). From the time I got it out of the box I was making test cuts within about 15-20 minutes after getting it assembled, the blade properly tensioned and aligned.
As far as the blade that comes with this... It's mediocre at best, but it is better than the central machinery saw I got a couple weeks ago and promptly returned. It's a fairly thick blade, so don't expect to cut tight curves with it. I played with it until my thinner Olson blade came in, and promptly replaced it, and was happier with the new blade. I'm not going to knock Rikon for that, I bought it knowing the blade wasn't really the blade I intended to use with the saw for the purposes I wanted...
The other nice thing to note, the dust port on the saw is a standard size (Unlike some competitors) so your shop vac should just plug right in.
After having had this for about a month and having used it for several projects, I'm quite pleased with the purchase. I don't think I miss the extra features from the deluxe version. If you're like me and you don't have the space (I work out of a one car garage) for a 14" saw or larger, this is the saw for you.
