: I have their 3 HP Unisaw knock-off. It works fine ( especially for the

: fence) My only caveat is that I spent hours putting it together. I had to
: GREATLY enlarge the holes on the lower( cabinet ) portion in order to get
: the t-slots to line up with the blade. This just didn't instill a ton of
: confidence. That being said, I've put in many hours on it in the past ten
: years, with no problems or breakdowns-----so I guess that for $825 I'm
: doing alright.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one that spent hours putting together one of the Grizzly tools. I felt like they just supplied the parts, and I built it. Then when there was no drive belt included and they're closed over the weekend, I thought I would go ballistic. But I do think it's a good tool for the price and they were very polite when I picked up the belt. They were also very busy at the time and I think it's only going to get worse. I'll still buy from Grizzly because it's close and their prices are the best I've found.
