WHAT'S THIS?

Good Performance, Great Value
Wood Magazine, Volume 149, 2003-06

The reviewer rated this bandsaw 4/5 on performance, and 5/5 on value. Standard accessories include ball-bearing blade guides, a 4-inch dust port, a quick-release tensioner, a miter gauge, and an outstanding rip fence. The rip fence is excellent for a 14-inch bandsaw: it adjusts for blade drift, and has a magnified cursor. The 1-hp motor can easily resaw 6-inch-wide red oak boards. An optional block riser costs $50, and this can boost the resaw capacity from 6 inches to 12 inches. An optional mobile base is $70. Altogether, this bandsaw and its accessories cost hundreds of dollars less than comparable bandsaws.

Very nice tool for any workshop. Lots of power. The 1-hp motor has plenty of power. Very nice fence. The a 4-inch dust port is positioned to remove most dust.

This is my second bandsaw. The first was an older table top craftsman that was noisy with a plastic housing. When you got the blade in a bind the blade would come off.

Very heavy duty construction. I do need to replace the blade. I get alot of drift when resawing hard wood.

The base is wide and the saw does not move.

The saw came in two boxes. Both boxes were in really good shape . . . UPS kinda goofed on the delivery (had to meet the driver on the side of the Hwy) but I was pleased to see the boxes in good shape from what I had read on the internet!

Anyway, unpacked the stand with no problem and when I got to the saw itself there was NO WAY I was going to lift it out by myself and get it put on the stand. So after waiting on my Father-in-law to come help me lift it up, he also helped me assemble the tables. Everything went together as it should. And we were both impressed with the entire package.

After spending almost an hour to get the tables level to one another, and the guides where they needed to be, the saw was ready to cut. I should mention the manual was very helpful and complete. Follow it step by step (although one could figure it out on his own) and even a novice shouldn't have any problems setting up the saw.

The fence is nice, although probably won't get used much. The light is helpful. The saw is very smooth running, heavy, and well made. Overall I am VERY impressed with the saw. And the price only adds to the enjoyment! I will buy from Grizzly again!
