I haven't had much of a chance to try this saw but I put it together and didn't do anything to make adjustments and it worked perfectly. I replaced my old Delta because I could not get it to keep the blade on. Trouble since new. I am very optimistic with this saw.

If you value customer service and the ability to easily return defective or mistakenly shipped items you do not want to deal with Grizzly. I have been a Grizzly customer for almost ten years and most of the time things go okay. The equipment is decent quality for a good price.When things don't go okay you are up a creek. You are now in the world where the customer takes all responsibility and returns can take months to complete correctly. For me this is a huge deal. I have a policy not to deal with companies that infuriate me. I am a pretty mellow, fair minded person. When dealing with a company makes me want to pound my fist against the table I stop dealing with them. Grizzly is one of these.

This is the ultimate bandsaw for the money. No pund intended. I looked at the Jet Models and compared horse-power, number of spokes per wheel, construction and cost. I looked at all the woodworking dealers in my area and you will not find a better band saw for the money. Not only that it comes with a fence and miter, extra on other models. The fence is a godsend.The unit will take some time calibrating. Well worth the effort. I like the quick release for the blade. The cast aluminum parts concern me because you have to be careful not to over-tighten things. Get a mobel base for this unit if you plan on moving it around, it's heavy. Don't buy the one from Fox (I did and don't like it at all).

I have the LX version, but it is the same saw with a few gee gaws to add to the sizzle. The paint job is nice, the stand is snazzy, and the roller bearings make you think you're getting a good value here. Buyer beware. The engineering on this is low end all the way. The roller bearing adjustment method/mechanism is K-mart-level and the bearings don't align flush with the blade, the lower bearings and trunion bolts are a real pain to get to, the table doesn't sit securely in the trunion, the table alignment process is mere wishful thinking and the fence installation instructions are blithely vague. If you want something that looks good, this is a great product. If you want solid engineering and a no-nonsense set up, look elsewhere. BTW, I've successfully set up radial arm saws, table saws, miter saws, etc., This takes the cake for mickey mouse engineering and a maddening set up procedure.

The main characters are always the same:predictable stock characters with no dimensions. Frank is always the grumpy curmudgeon making insulting cracks about his wife; Marie is always the manipulative controller syrupy sweet manner. Robert is always Eeyore and jealous of Raymond. Raymond is a whiny ass little mama's boy in a vain search for his balls. The only interesting character is Debra, who is all over the map emotionally and wears many "hats" in the family from anchor in the storm to adorable sweetheart. I suspect the writing was always too dominated by Romano who probably refused to submit to anyone's advice but his own ego.

Love this and have had many hours of laughter!!!It is so fun to pop it in and have many hours of enjoyment
