    It's put together

    Hopefully I will be successful here in posting pictures. I spent several hours on Friday, and several today, with my neighbor's help with the heavy pieces, but by the end of the day today, it is pretty well together, except for the electrical. Grizzly's instructions were actually pretty good. The table extensions were flat with the table with no adjustments. The fence took some adjusting to get it parallel to the miter slot, and the 90* and 45* stops had to be tweaked a bit. The factory settings were 89.7* and 45.5* according to my Wixey. I was pleasantly surprised that the footprint of the Grizzly is actually smaller than my old Craftsman with the 50" Incra fence setup. I rented an engine hoist to get it off the trailer and positioned in the shop. Worked like a champ!

    Nope, they're there. That is a nice looking saw - what's the blue covering on the shop floor? Whatever it is makes it look awfully clean

    Blue paint is Dura Coat. It's what they paint on industrial floors. I'll have to look up the website, but you can probably google it up. It's not cheap, but goes on easier than the epoxy paints, and is durable, and anti-skid in its mixture.

    It's Up and running.

    I had to go get a longer service cord, as the 6 foot one it came with was about 18" too short. And I had to rewire my 110 circuit over to 220. BOY this machine runs SO quietly and smoothly compared to my Craftsman, it's unbelievable. I am impressed. Thanks Grizzly!!

    163.00 to go and I will. But you know, I already know that when I have the money in hand to do this, all you guys will have bought up the current stock, and I'll have to wait a few months to get mine. Jim.

    Yeah, I wish they would have put a ten foot cord on, too. Six just isn't enough, may as well be two feet! I made a 12ga/six foot/220v extension cord, but it would have been nice to have a ten foot cord already installed.

    Clean shop

    Thanks for the compliments on the clean shop. I had to sorta clean it up to move the old saw out of the way to get the new one in, but I like keeping a clean shop. I need to post pics on SMC workshop page. I put some on Wood Mag site, but not here. Coming soon.
