I have my Rikon 10-326 for 3 years and my lower bearing seized. Although the bandsaw is
under warranty, Rikon said the bearings are a use item and not under warranty. This topic was addressed a couple of years ago on the forum. You can replaced the bearings, they are not expensive. A thread going on now gives a lot of good information on bearings. You can also just open them up and clean them. I recommend this when the bearings are not spinning as easily. When they are seized it takes a couple of minutes longer to clean them up. I used mineral spirits.
