Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've owned this saw for about 4 months now and made over 1000 cuts with it.
The Good: It's a very strong unit, Everything is made from cast iron to it's very strong and easy to adapt with your own tables and jigs and such. The vise is a design which I've never seen before, once you back it off about 1 turn it moves freely until you tighten it again really speeding up material changes.
The Bad: The manual says nothing about coolant and Grizzly doesn't sell any type of cutting coolant. Even with the coolant on very slow it sprays everywhere, I made a sheetmetal guard to collect most of it and funnel it back into the resivoir. And after I owned this saw for about 1 month the drive pulley started getting a very loud creaking sound whenever it was running, I checked it out and it looks ok but the sound never went away. Still cuttin' though! For the money, I'd buy it again.
