As with all tools, you get what you pay for. They are not the best, highest
qaulity tools you can buy, but they work and with a little maintenance now
and then, replacing hardware occationally, etc, they will last a long time.
I have several grizzly tools (bandsaw, shaper, jointer, sander) and I have
no regrests. I would buy more if there was anything else I needed at the
moment. There tech support departmnet is very easy to deal with too. (Should
you have any problems.)

I have 3 and a Woodstock and am proud of 'em all.
(Well, as proud as a Normander can be, anyway.)

shaper is on my short list. 3hp most likely from the grizz due to the lower
cost around 800 and needing it for raised panels.
I would love to have lots of embarrassment by owning about 20 grizzly
machines....

Joe,
Excellent jigs and mods! Love the xy on the mortiser.
I had a question on the shaper. Any difference on the finish or cut quality
when spinning router bits slower on the shaper?
Just curious.
Sincerely,
Rich

A friend has a Grizzly shaper. Although he seems embarrassed to own a
Grizzly (for whatever reason -- maybe because he owns Robland combo), he
does say how much he likes his shaper.
I have used it. Personally, I would prefer a PC router in a solid and
versatile table.

I think Grizzly is like most - a blend of good and not so good. It looks
like their 1023 series of cabinet saws has been the flagship of their
product line and there are a lot of very happy users, including yours
truely. Some of the equipment I saw on there showroom floor looks great,
some not. You just have to do your homework and shop.
If you are focusing in on a particular product call their customer service
line. They will provide phone numbers of up to two customers in your area
that have made recent purchases of a similar item.
