I have a new Rikon band saw I purchased 6 mos ago. I love the machine and don't know how I lived without one before. My only gripe is the bandsaw guides. They are a pain to adjust. They don't stay as I put them. The lower guides are a pain to get at. I am trying to decide whether to get the Rikon band guide upgrade kit which allows for tool-less adjustment or spring for the Carter bandsaw guides, which can be purchased with a tool-less option also. The Rikon upgrade kit goes for about $150 and the Carter guides go for about $209. I would like to do some resawing eventually. Has anyone had experience with either product?
