Grizzly Bandsaw?

Aug 18, 2004 4 Replies

After reading all the problems with Grizzly lathes, I'm considering the Grizzly 17" or 19" bandsaw. Anyone had any horror storries about these? Or Grizzly's customer service?



I can't comment on their band saws or lathes but I do have a 1023s cabinet saw and it is a fine machine. However, I did drop Grizzly from my list when shopping for a lathe - the Jet 1442 won.

Regarding Grizzly service, I have not needed any since I purchased my saw. However they got the saw to the local truckers dock within 36 hours of my internet order.

If you call Grizzly's customer line they will provide names and phone numbers of up to two folks in your area that have made purchases similar to your planned purchase. This way you can go to the owners for opinions. This was the final decision point on buying my Griz saw.

Grizzly has been professional in their dealings with me.

I have there 14" bandsaw, 6" belt sander,abd 14" lathe. I broke one of the lock handles and gave them a call> It was sent out that day and I was still under 1 yera by 2 days.no charge. I talked with reps. from them before I bought. Answered eyerything I asked.
