Rikon - 70-220 VSR (Rating: 2)

Bought this new from Woodcraft on 5/1/2018. Worked absolutely wonderful for a few months - weekend wood turner projects. Started experiencing some delayed starting and inconsistent rpm on motor after about 5 months. Called and spoke to Rikon and they acknowledged that they have a motor problem in some of these - specifically the brush/armature interface. They were very nice about it and indicated that a new motor is forthcoming at no charge but have to wait up to 3 months before arrival. This is why only 2 stars - would have expected that they sold enough of these to have new motors on order and located in anticipation of having to stand by the product. Owning this machine for 8 months and then be shut down for 3 months is tough to accept.
