Even though my position hasn't changed, I appreciate the fact that Bill took the time to get involved in my problem and also took the time to come post about it here. It shows what a valuable...
Impressive. I would certainly like to know what I did wrong. I couldn't get it to stay up for more than a few seconds. Maybe it was because I was placing the nickle closer to the edge of the...
I have emailed Bill and asked him to come read this and my previous thread.
My intention was not to bash Grizzly products. Like I said, I bought the bandsaw based on other woodworker's praises of...
Update: Grizzly loses a customer.
Pardon me fellas while I rant for a moment...

Nice, John! But, I've already got more Bessey's than I'll ever need...
Blasphemy! Gimme 4 more!
As we say on Fatwallet, "Thanks, OP!"
Welcome! I agree, the pictures are one of my favorite parts too...in addition to the wealth of knowledge freely available here!
Update
The replacement parts that Grizzly sent for my G0555 did not help the vibration. Spent several hours this weekend tinkering with it to try to find and get rid of the vibration including...
It was different enough that I should have known better. In any case, the CDs that I received were definitely pirated.
Emailed bidzonez.com last week...no response.
Called their phone number...
That's very interesting. Their website no longer exists.

Hmm.. not good. I ordered it from them as well. I'm very interested in your findings because I feel the same way that you do about it. I haven't received the CDs yet, but my CC has been charged.
Thanks for the feedback. Here are my symptoms:
1. Motor running only: some vibration
2. Motor running with belt and lower wheel: some vibration
3. Motor and both lower and upper wheel with...

Just put my G0555 together. Can anyone who owns one tell me if theirs vibrates? Mine visibly vibrates pretty badly when I start it up and when I turn if off. When it is running there is some very...
Oh yes, forgot to mention that. I got the riser block and the mobile base for it.
Yes, I definitely DID have information overload. But, that is NOT necessarily a bad thing. It helped me to...
OK, guys, somehow through this conversation I have come full circle. 3 or 4 months ago I started off and almost pulled the trigger on buying a G0555 14" Grizzly bandsaw. At the last minute, I had...
Thanks for the info, Chris. I just ordered Lonnie Bird's Bandsaw book. Do you have a link where I can find the Lenox carbide blades in the 1/2 and 3/4" width? Also, how about a link for the Iturra...
Thanks for the analysis. You are making it even more difficult for me to pull the trigger. lol. Here's another twist on my dilemma... Like I said before, for $200 more than the 17" G0513 and at...
Now Mike, don't go and do that to me. Just when I have my mind made up to buy the G0513, there you go making me second guess myself.
Is it really worth $200 to have these guides on the...
...the review was in a recent issue of FWW. But, is was the 18" Bridgewood, not the 17". They are significantly different.
I'm also about to pull the trigger on a G0513. I keep trying to find...
I hate to see $10 go to waste so here's a $10 off $99 or more coupon for Amazon/toolcrib that I'm not going to use. Expires 10/31/03. It can only be used once so first come, first served.

Do you think they are just sold out right now, or is this item being discontinued? I was just about to purchase this model.
Does anyone else have the DW618? If so, how do you rate it?

Hmmm.. Well, I just got the same emails from Amazon. However, they've already delivered to me 6 48" Jorgies. Now they want to ship me 10 24" Besseys and 10 40" Besseys. I don't have any clamps...
I've looked at a couple of pictures and I can't tell the difference between a 2 flute end mill and a spiral upcut bit. What gives? And, can you post a link to a source on the web for the 2 flute...
Is it just me, or is the Viper 1/4" Spiral Upcut Bit a piece of junk? It is solid carbide, but after using it for only a few minutes, it is burnt. It also doesn't bore well at all. I'm using it to...
