Now I have this piece of trash sitting in my garage, rarely ever used, and hope I can come up with the money needed for a high end bandsaw. Besides that, I've been on and off with tech support for 3 years trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with this thing as it still bows and twists when I resaw things.If I had the money and were looking to purchase this thing again, I'd use the money to start a fire.at least that would be somewhat useful. I'll use this thing to cut plastic pipe and non-finish projects, but never, ever for something above the quality of oak.What a piece. I don't know where to begin with this piece of garbage. The wheel was bent when I got it, but unfortunately it took me near 2 years to find that out.
QUALITY PRODUCT WEITH A GREAT PRICE.THANKS GRIZZLY THIS HAS BEEN A GOD SENT TO ME HAS MADE TASK MUCH EASIER, AND ACCURATE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS SAW TO ANY ONE.
Back to the accessories, this saw had everything but the tire brush. It is not light my recommendations would be to get a rolling stand if you have limited space and move tools in and out to use them. The quality of the factory blade is not real good, but is good if it is your first bandsaw. This is a great purchase. Totally the best tool I have purchased on line with out playing the "hands on game" It came totally loaded just like it said. Grizzly named this one perfictly "ULTIMATE". I had it up and running smooth in 20mins, the only problem I had was getting my wife to help lift it.
The fence has an easy to read scale that is real easy to set up.I made one mistake when assembling the saw. Many standard features on this saw are an extra expense on other saws costing much more. The fit and finish are excellent. The Jet and Delta versions of this are $650 without a riser, and they come with no fence and no miter gauge.It is a quiet running saw and it was not difficult to set up.
I just assembled this saw with the riser block option. I used the wrong set of threaded holes when I installed the fence, and it made the front fence rail too high. The table top is ground to perfection. I have used it very little so far, so this review is just my first impression.
The alignment is good and the adjustments are easy. After I realized my mistake it was very easy to take it off and re-install using the proper holes. It is a great saw. I paid just over $500 to get the saw, riser block, and 2 extra blades.
I love this saw. I ordered the riser kit with this saw, so I don't know how it works without the kit. But, the kit installed fine and everything was in alignment and works as expected.
