Default Rikon 14" recall

Where did you find out about the recall? What are they requiring owners to
do to solve the apparent problem? I have a Rikon 14" special, but have not
been notified of any recall.

Default Rikon 14" recall

my local woodcraft (1 hour away) said they would be in mid
january...then he called me back after having a visit from the rikon
rep. he said they would be in at the end of Feb....something about the
trunions...and apparently over 1000 saws were recalled... I ordered
the 14" deluxe bandsaw so i don't know if it involves non deluxeses

I have one on order and called c.s. today. They said that demand was unusually high, as a result of woodworking magazine
recommendations. They are currently out of stock and expect a container in 1st week of Feb. They have NO recall on this product.

The only band saw recall listed in the CPSC database is for certain
Milwaukee models.

I did a Google, contacted Rikon, and talked to the local Woodcraft. There's
no recall. I'm guessing the OPs dealer was making excuses for late delivery
(due to overwhelming demand) or the OP misunderstood him.
