semberrg Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I have a Grizzly, so... I have the grizzly g0771 table saw. I figured I'd spend a little bit for my first saw that would last me a while. Any other grizzly products you'd recommend? I have their catalogue.

Eric. Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I have quite a few Grizzlys...TS, 8" jointer, 15" planer, 17" bandsaw and a DC. The TS I'm most pleased with (G0690). Really I have no complaints about it...it's been great in every way aside from the terrible fence it came with. The rest are all meh. They get the job done and the price is very appealing...they're not Harbor Freight junk but they're not the greatest either. Just know that the fit and finish leaves a little to be desired and it takes a little more fiddling to get and keep them tuned...but they are serviceable machines. Good bang for the hobbyist buck. If you're a millionaire you shouldn't consider them. If you're a normal guy, take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Agree with Eric completely! I have quite a few Grizz machines and they do the job just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyH Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 I think I'm going with the Bosch 1617. Thanks guys! Eric if you want I could build you a soap box if you'd like. Lol I kid, I kid.

Happy Routing, Anthony 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronn W Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 I have a large Triton router mounted in homeade cabinet. It is heavy and powerful. Even out of the cabinet I find that the heft adds to the stability. It has good plunge mehcanism with 2 stops and a decent side guide. I have used freehand it with a 1/6th " diameter bit for inlay work and, mounted in the table, have used some pretty large door panel bits. That being said I do intend to get a small router also to avoid the work of removing the big Triton from the table for quick, smaller tasks.

semberrg Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 So I purchased the 1617 kit that came with a case and the plunge base as well. It seemed to be the best bang for the buck at just over 219 dollars. Any others get any woodworking toys for father's day? Happy father's day btw!
