I've owned some of their stuff for YEARS!
I have one of their 10" table saws, and several of their air nailers....all very good stuff. I would buy it all again, and have recommended them to a few people. They also have always been great with any problems I have heard of, with regards to customer service. I have never needed to call, so YMMV! Check out their website, and see if they have what you are looking for. Tall Shadow

We used Grizzly mills in my college machine shops. Overall, I never really had a problem with them, but there was alot of slop in the controls. With that said, 80 cadets a year learned machining on them so crashes were frequent.
For light projects they should do fine. |

Grizzly brand is the same stuff from Harbor Freight. And HF is cheaper usually. Plus if your lucky you can get a 20 % off coupon through HF. Run out is sloppy on most of the items you buy cheap , so keep that in mind.

Runout can be adjusted on the Grizzly tools as well. One of my friends runs a Super X3 with a DRO and it works very nicely. |
