    Just Placed order for my new G1023

    Grizzly is telling me that it has an expected delivery date of the September 24 so hopefully a few of them get out there and get used so I can get some opinions on it.

    I've had mine (1023SL) since Oct of 2003 and use it several times a week. No regrets at all and it runs as well today as when I took delivery.

    I was reading that there were a few concerns about the new trunion design with riving knife since it is untested but I guess we will find out.

    I just got the call from Grizzly saying that my saw is on the truck and I should get it in 3 to 5 days. As stupid as this sounds I was told that I had to wait till the end of September to get it and I could live with that but now if it doesn't come on Friday and I have to wait till Monday I am going to crazy over the weekend.

    To clear up what you were told... The saw will get there Friday but you CAN'T use it until the end of September. So that means you can look at it but you can't do anything with it until the end of September.

    Now that would be a real killer....

    Congrats on the new saw. I loved my 1023SL, the only reason I moved up to the SawStop was safety.

    Now I just have to figure out a way to get it out of the back of my truck. I am having it shipped to my work where I have a forklift so I can load it easily into the truck. I am thinking about renting a motor lift.

    My understanding is that the saws are shipping now, but the arbor nuts won't be in until September 24.

    Post some pics when you get it set up!

    Congrats!!! I know I really couldn't use my G0691 until I got the mobile base built for it. It seemed to take for ever....wait a minute, it did take me forever. I to am anxious to see some real life pictures and how you like it. Jim.

    i put mine on a small trailer and two of us muscled it onto a flat dolly, rolled it off the ramp into the shop. PITA, but it got there!

    I am seriously jealous!!!!!!! I ordered the saw back in January. I live near the Grizzly headquarters and you get a saw with one phone call.
