Let customers speak for us
The saw is exactly what I hoped for and arrived with package intact. Minimal setup was required and it worked perfectly! I noticed the base was cracked and bent slightly after I used it for a few cuts, can only assume it was from the factory because the packing was pristine. Rikon offered a new one but to save double shipping cost they also offered me a generous discount, which I was happy to accept since it didn’t affect the operation. The whole process was very reasonable and both GWS and Rikon acted with an integrity that I really appreciated.
Thank you
great product, great service, best price in Canada, will be purchasing more in the future
Work good
Although a bit pricey, the build quality is great and the extra reach makes vacuuming the floor much easier.
Perfect it is exactly what I needed. Thank you
Bought these to use on the CSC50 Table Saw and after making a support for them to lock onto the fence it works fantastic. Will be a great timesaver and cut quality improvement. I hope to use them on the router table soon too
They fit my tflux 10 perfectly!
Good quality, comfortable, better than the 3M ear muffs that are similar.
This device is simple to use and very accurate. Setting up my jointer was never easier. Would definitely recommend.
Great sander, with great customer support. Had a small issue with a wobbly disc, and Rikon shipped a new disc within a few days. Now the sander is within tolerance and works as expected. This is a great sander for the price, and with a five year warranty I’m expecting to get great usage from it.
Makes organizing router bits easy and provides a professional look to,the finished product. The fact we can store both 1/2 and 1/4 bits using the same inserts make it very practical. Although a bit pricey, its still good value.
great little unit . been using the spool gun the most and it works well for the price
Works great hooked up to aluminum piping and drier vent elbows. hahaha None of these manufacturers can agree on what size a amle end is or a female one... as long as one fits inside t'other. hahaha
I'm Putting 3 HP DC VD motor, that will test the belts.
