Got my G0453 15" Planer in June 2006. Have used it almost everyday and ran a lot of hardwood through it. The only problem I had was a leaky oil plug at the bottom of the gearbox. I removed the plug,...
Have had my 490 for almost a year and half and have put it threw hell and beyond. I have had no problems what so ever with this machine. My Delta DC gets the chips out with no problems, it has never...
Hi folks,
Was wondering what most use for kitchen cabinet clear top coat finishes. High Gloss, semi gloss or satin? I am thinking Taget USL but wanted to know what most use a far as the shine...
I has this happend as well and Amazon will want you to return the clamps for new ones. The best thing to do is contact Bessey, they sent me new ends at no charge and had them in a few days!!
I have had my jointer for almost a year now (got it in March 2006). Been using it daily and have had no trouble what so ever. It has ate various kinds of lumber from pine to hickory and tons of it....
Sorry about that, yes it was the G0453 15" planer. The finish on hardwood is great even at the faster feed rate. The knives were set very good at the factory. I ran about a thousand board feet...
Howdy,
Got the G493 planer and picked it up at the showroom. It was packed very nice and no damage at all. Got her home, assembled it which was very easy. Checked the gear lube and it was full...
I owned this planer for 3 years and ran a ton of lumber through it with no complaints except for what I paid for replacement I could have bought another planer and I dont think she would hae gone...
Hey, the world is not perfect. Everyone has experienced troubles with something they have bought. I read on another forum about a cracked table on a new General Table saw. OMG, a General with a...
Russ,
When I picked up my G0490, I looked over the 453 and the fit and feel was impressive! I have one on backorder and Papa Grizz says it will be in Muncy PA the first or second week of June. I...
I had the same problem 15 years ago. Could not lift my arm much higher than my waste. Doctor told me I needed surgery and then they would have to cut all the muscle, no orthoscopic at the time here....
I have a single garage door in my shop and insulated it with 1 1/2" styrofoam from the local hardware store. Walls and ceiling are well insulated as well. There are times during the winter I need to...
Scott,
I live in Southwestern NY and we have frost on the cars from October to the end of May. I heat my shop with wood. It was an old Kalamazoo coal stove and I used coal the first 2 years I had...
Hello,
I am getting ready to upgrade to a new planer and have read a few reviews on the Grizz G0493 here at the Creek. Was wondering if any others have purchased this machine and what your...
Hello Everyone,
I am building a kitchen island for my BIL and he has Aristokraft Cabinets that are hickory with a wheat stain. Is ther such a stain or is it something they came up with? He wants...
I have the iron from Rockler that you have to heat. I use a propane torch and it takes about 5 minutes. It also has the date attachment. Been using it for 4 years now and it works very well. I...
Sorry to hear that a few of the 490 folks are not real happy. I picked mine up at Grizzly and everything was fine. The problem is shipping them with the motor attached. According to PaPa Griz, they...
I just received 2 sets of Bessey Small Cabinet Door Clamps Kit with K blocks from Amazon for $89.99 each and free shipping. Order them using the 10% off code for Tool Days. That is 8 Besseys (4-24"...
Don't worry about those motor supports. They are plenty strong!! I have beat the crap out of my 490 for a month now. It runs every day and on a few days has run for a few hours or longer. It has...
I think I may have found the problem. Under the saw there is a bracket which holds the rod in place for the indent stops. It is held in place by 2 screws. After turning the saw upside down and...
Mark,
I have to agree, Makita was no help at all. I tried tighting these with a small pipe on the lug wrench to get a bit more leverage and it still moves. I am wondering if it has something to...
Hello, I purchased this Makita saw about a year and half ago. I am constantly squaring the fence. It seems to move every few months. I torque the 4 bolts holding the fence to the saw as much as I...
I have just the place for your to store this fine hardwood. I just can't promise you it will be here when you need it. We have a lot of theives in this area!! :p

Hello fellow G0490 Owners,
It's been awhile since the list was buzzing with threads of the Grizzly G0490 8" Jointer. I was wondering if all of you had the chance to use it much and what your...
