Yeah. I know. On the "not real smart" side of the spectrum, but no choice. Shop folded and gone when we moved into 2d floor condo. But - my workbench is here, and hand-held tools like PC314 circ saw, PC690 router, etc. Used on outdoor deck in non-rainy conditions.
Various physical ailments and limitations make hand sawing a real effort. And so…..
Highland [10 minutes away] sends out promo with sale on Rikon 10" bandsaws. I am under no illusions about resawing, performance, etc. I just want to make cuts easily.
BUT - the point [finally]: the best I can hope to negotiate is keeping it on the deck under a cover. Is this something that can be reasonably successful?
The lower-end Rikon 10-305 is on sale for $250 with free shipping for me . I've dropped that on an LN plane or a couple Aurious at Highland when I went for a qt of Waterlox. 2 days ago, 1oz Meduim CA somehow included a hotdog for my #62.
The $ doesn't bother me - unless it fails under the cover in Atlanta. How say we?
Also - 10-305 for $250 v 10-3061 for $400. Comments?
TIA for any advice you have to offer.
