I've been considering a Rikon 10-325 for some time but some of the
reviews aren't very complimentary (blade change and adjustment).


I've got one and have to agree that blade changes are a PITA. But I
don't change blades very often. Most of the time I leave a 1/2" blade on
it. I change to a 1/4" blade maybe 3 or 4 times a year when I need to
saw a tighter curve than the 1/2" will handle.

Other than the blade changes, I think it's a great value for the money.
If you foresee changing blades weekly get something else. If not, I
think you'll be happy with the Rikon.
