![]() ![]() ![]() I wouldn't hesitate to buy another griz & the few small issues I had their customer service took care of it right a way & followed up to make sure I was satisfied. 12 years ago I bought a 5hp 12" table saw w/biesmeyer fence for our shop, ripping miles of high density form plywood, saw still works as it should. ![]() I also have a G0513X2BF wood bandsaw & I have to say it's a precision cutting saw, now I'm looking at a griz mill, for me buying new & using it right away is a big plus. It has been a pleasure learning on a new lathe with tight tolerances, bought a G0613 mitering bandsaw, I love it, use it every chance I get. Last year I bought a G4003G 12 x 36 gunsmith lathe, I didn't know much about metal lathes & all the old iron I looked at needed work & tooling, so I figured I would start new with a warranty. I have owned a bunch of Grizzlies & still do, if you notice they get pretty good resale, at least around here. Grizzly has been continually improving their products & their customer service is great. Machinery made by high end European manufacturers like Felder would be higher quality, but in the price range, the Grizzly stuff is good. out of the affordability of a non high end manufacturer) Grizzly also carries lots of weird specialty tools, that might no longer be otherwise manufactured, or which might be obscenely expensive from the specialty manufacturers that still make similar equipment.(ie. The owners brother from what I recall, owns Busy Bee Tools in Canada, which is the Canadian version of Grizzly. I needed a rim for my car and saw they had some at their website.I went there and told him what I needed and his guys found the exact replacement for my car. The owner, Shiraz Balolia, is actually into woodworking and making stringed instruments, so the website has lots of Luthier supplies. For instance, they have bench grinders from $65 to $1000+ with the more expensive options designed to compete with manufacturers like Baldor, although they also carry Baldor grinders. In many cases, like Ikea, they have different quality ranges for different budgets and users. That said, Grizzly has gotten more “professional” quality tools in their lineup over the years. Grizzly was one of the first major importers of Asian made industrial tools, back when companies like Delta and Powermatic were still major manufacturers making tools in the USA.īack then, the tools were known to be useable, but typically with somewhat cruder manufacture than tools from companies like Delta Powermatic, as well as other more expensive imports like Jet. ![]()
