I am researching cabinet table saws and band saws, and I looked at Rikon band saw today. I found some posts in here about their band saws, but there were no hits for their table saws.
They make 2 3HP cabinet saws. They are identical, but one has a sliding table option. They sound good and are priced right. Does anyone out there have one or used one?

Look at http://kufogroup.com/ as well.
Don't limit yourself to Knots. You will find more on a European or UK forum on the Rikon. The overseas market is a whole different market and it takes awhile for Euro stuff to get to the hobby market here. The biscuit jointer goes back to the 50's and look how long that took to catch on here at the hobby level.
I have a RICON 18 inch bandsaw.. I like it ALOT!
I called Ricon and never got a straight answew to where I could 'LOOK' at a Ricon slider saw??
I am not sure why?
answew is a Yank word for 'Did I miss sometyhing to respond to?"

I called Rikon today about the slider table saw as well. The only Rikon Dealer in Virginia is Woodcraft. They sell the band saws, jointer, drill press, and mini lathe. I looked on Woodcraft's web site, and they don't have the table saw listed there. The woman I talked to sounded like it was news to her that Woodcraft isn't selling them. She suggested a dealer in North Carolina, so I called them. The guy there didn't even know that Rikon makes a table saw. There is an online distributor who sells them. The slider is $2,200 delivered to the nearest freight terminal. $100.00 more for residential delivery with lift gate. I am just reluctant to purchase one without seeing one first or being able to read reviews. The only thing I've been able to find out about them is that they look nice.
