Popular Post RichardA Posted October 21, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Been working with a Craftsman table saw for way to many years. It threw dust everywhere, and I mean everywhere. I just hooked up my dust collection to a much better tool., Here's a couple of pics. Bye the way, "I LIKE IT" !! It's within a thousandth from mitre slot to saw blade, and the same from saw blade to fence. Did I mention, that "I LIKE IT"? 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark J Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Happy for you. By the way, does the front end loader come with the delivery truck, or do you have to buy that separately? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a very good neighbor, he picks up hand planes at flea markets and gives them to me... I think he's just lonely. he can talk for hours! Helluva guy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeslayer Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 way to go Richard, very nice upgrade. i hung on to my dads old Craftsman way to long, nostalgia i think, and memories for me but the new saw was an eye opener from day one and i never regretted the upgrade, congrats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon_t Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Well done Rick. Now hurry up and put a scratch or two in it so you can use it without worrying about it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Congrats Rick ! An accurate saw is the heart of any shop. Being able to get accurate fence settings and having the blade square to the table and fence make a big difference it everything you build . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gee-dub Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 A long running success story for Grizzly and now updated with riving knife and such. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Nothing like moving from a less than stellar saw to a good cabinet saw. Congratulations, you'll love even more the more you use it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxerjoe04 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Congrats, I have the same one but kind of wish I got the model with the longer rails instead of the router spot, like it a lot though. Not gonna lie though, it'll still throw dust everywhere, dc above the blade would probably take care of what I'm talking about but that would just be in the way haha. Of course I did have a dust collection problem I noticed the other day, no clue how it happened bc the piece of wood sticking out was like paper thin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful if you do, the 2 hybreds they have are full of problems, especially with the fence's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedinblue Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Those of us happy with our Grizzly hybrids far outnumber those who got a lemon with the alignment issue. Those problems were mostly eliminated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
