Rikon 18” Bandsaw
#5
Replaced my 18” Rikon with a MiniMax MM16, so looking to sell the Rikon. 2 HP motor, 220 wired and in great running condition. Will come with a number of blades, including a carbide tipped 1” Laguna Resaw King. Guides have been upgraded to Carter. The only issues are (i) original pot metal table tilt handle broke and I replaced it with a knob from Rockler, and (ii) the magnifier in the fence fell out and I have no idea where it is.

Asking $1000 with local pickup in Thousand Oaks, California. If it doesn’t sell, it goes to the local high school woodshop for the kids.

What a nice gesture...well done. But if I was a little closer (actually, several thousand miles closer) I'd sure give your Rikon a look. I have an MM16, but would like to have 2 bandsaws in the shop.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Great idea to give it a school.
Bravo!
Hopefully the school does not give up it's woodworking program in the near future, and your saw goes to the scrap heap.
I am not an attorney, but I would be concerned about liability should a kid get injured.
Perhaps one of our WN attorneys will comment.
Those are just things that would concern me if I were contemplating this gift.
