Jus...Uh-oh. My lower wheel won't go back on...<br />Just trying to put a new drive belt on it. The wheel goes about 2/3 of the way on. Backwards it went on. Proper way around - no. Then backwards no...<br />(sigh)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30872061.post-26610239662362445672010-11-19T09:36:17.916-08:002010-11-19T09:36:17.916-08:00Oh boy .... Bad news.

I could never get it alligned in the first place. I've been promised a replacement but now Rod isnt answering my emails either.<br /><br />The saw is sitting there in my shop taking up space.<br /><br />I do not buy the over tensioning argument. If you over tension your blade you are going to eventually break it. If the frame or wheel fails due to blade tension within a year that doesnt say much for the materials Rikon is using. <br /><br />While I have seen people really over tension their saw I myself am on the opposite end. I use just enough tension to keep the blade straight and prefer it that way. Yet I'm expereincing large problem with the frame on my saw too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30872061.post-27941732386278122392010-11-10T07:10:14.902-08:002010-11-10T07:10:14.902-08:00Amuse yourself and try to think- how would Gunny G...Amuse yourself and try to think- how would Gunny Goodman or Hendricks have responded to this?
