I am in the process of buying a table saw. I want a 10". I have been noticing some ads for a 10" table saw from Grizzly (Imports?). The table saw they have in the ad has the best options for everything. It looks like a great saw. and it is only about $330. Most table saws that has this equipment is usually over $500. One of my questions to the net is, has anyone had any experience with Grizzly? Another question is, what experiences and recommendations do you have for table saws?

No problems so far, and the people at grizzly are pretty good about talking to you. They will even give you the name of the nearest person that has the item that you are considering buying, so that you can go look at it (this is done, of course with the permission of the other person). Shipping was on time. If I hadn't already pruchased a used Rockwell Unisaw, I may have given the 10" tilting arbor saw that Grizzly imports a try. That one runs about $800, a little more than half the best price that I've seen for a new unisaw, and is a 'copy' of the unisaw. The machines come pretty well greased over, to protect them from rust, etc., so expect to do a some cleaning. Set up was straight-forward. Currently, a friend has been using this equip. more than I, and I'm sure he'd have something to add. Mike, are you there? Kevin ucbvax!kevin

But I'll say it again for the net. Grizzly gave you a damn good deal on your jointer and planer. I've put small amounts of almost every hardwood through them and about 200 board feet of 5/4 sugar maple. All has worked out very well. You didn't mention that we had a little wiring to do when the equipment came. One came with the wrong plug ( a 110 plug on a 220 motor ) the other came with no plug. Quick trip to the hardware store put us in business. Mike @ AMDCAD
