Re;Grizzly 17 inc Bandsaw

Hi Harry,

I have a Grizzly 15" band saw, which appears to be a smaller, no-frills version of the 17" saw. I've used it extensively without problems. While better saws are probably available, this one has performed flawlessly. No complaints.

I have a 24 inch that is close to the 17. I have had to repalce the bearings in the upper wheel and the shaft. I was in a hurry and tapped them in with a hammer that worked for about 6 months. then the next time I got the bearigns from grizzley and pressed them on that has worked great. What you may not relizes is that this saw has been running for about 6 years. It runs for a mininum of 11 hours day 4 days a week plus over time My cutter who run the saw average about 48 hours a week. In the last 6 years the saw has been down for about 4 hours total
