Hi all,
I'm not new here but don't swing by often. I saw a local used Rikon 10-321 for $450 which I thought a good deal since I could pick up locally. My wife was against it saying I should buy something new with warranty. I have a little 9" piece of crap Delta that can hardly cut a straight line so anything would be an improvement, can't believe that thing has no thrust bearing! Anyway, so I started looking and had 2 thoughts. I could get the Grizzly G0555LX currently $899 + 150 shipping or the G0555 for $699 + 150 shipping. The only difference I see between these on the Grizzly site says the guide post adjustment is different/bettter for LX. I've seen some people say the LX has my HP, but the website doesn't say that.
So the other thing I'm thinking is the Rikon 10-325. I can get it for $1200 and pick it up at a local Woodcraft store, so not paying a bunch of money for shipping. I realize it is about $150 more than the LX, but money isn't too much of an issue. I'm also open to other suggestions but would want to stay close to the $1000 price mark as I'm just an amateur. Oh, and I'm in the Washington DC area. Thanks!
