I broke one a few years ago. Rikon had me a new one in three days.

Please post your follow up experiences on this matter. I have not had any issues with mine, but would find this information to be valuable if/when I might have the same need. Thanks.

What caused it to break? I received my saw last Friday. I noticed the belt does not fit fully on the motor pulley. The motor pulley is out of alignment. Was your properly aligned?

BBrown626,
You may want to check out this YouTube video BEFORE you try to adjust your lower wheel pulley:

That’s actually the weakness of Rikon bandsaw. Check this link, that might help too.

the lower wheel tech tip doesn’t appear to have anything to do with the saw’s drive belt. it is aimed pretty much at rectifying lower wheel misalignments as may affect blade tracking. it is a testimonial to rikon’s responsiveness to customer requested tech support. when i approached jet tools about a similar adjustment procedure for an 18” jet BS i owned at the time, their response was that i was on my own. they, and their dealers, had no way of, and no information on, realigning the lower wheel in any way. bravo rikon.

-- there's a solution to every problem.......you just have to be willing to find it.

HorizontalMike,
does your belt ride fully on the motor pulley? I am not considering adjusting the blade pulleys. The one out of alignment is the pulley on the motor shaft.

Thank you for the link to the video.

Thank you sir,

Brent
