My new blank cutter.(G0513 17" 2 HP BS)Updated with PICS

[Scott Hubl]

I found this over in the Swap N Sell section at the WN forums.
Seller was less than a 30 minute drive from me.

I went and looked at it this morning and took some WET Green Walnut logs that I cut in half with my chain saw before I left the house.

This BS cut right on through them, a BIG BIG difference over my 3/4HP Ridgid BS with Riser.

It came with a nice mobile base and a couple Timberwolf blades too.

Saw has barely even been used, looks New. I got the Manual the allen wrenches and the miter gauge also.

He was asking $550.00 and I ended up getting it for $450.00










I think this will help me cut my bowl blanks a little faster now.

I got it into the shop and am working on hooking up the two 4" dust ports.

Scott,

I own the same model, and it is a good saw for the money Grizzly charges, but a tremendous saw for what you paid! You will find it has the power to cut through whatever you present. Enjoy!

Wow! That looks like a monster. Good luck and may you be blessed with many bowl blanks.

Congrats Scott. Great looking saw and you will love it.

Thanks, Paul,Bob,Ben, andBernie,
I was looking into upgrading the motor on the Ridgid BS and this one popped up for sale real close to me.

After cutting that walnut like butter I haggled and bought it.

I searched here and other places for reviews and found it was a highly regarded BS I saved over $478.00 over buying it New. With the Mobile Base plus delivery charged from Grizzly.
This is my First Grizzly power tool, bought other stuff from them but never a major tool.
I'm impressed by this BS.

My trailers bed "tilts" so loading and unloading was fairly Easy.
I just had to roll it into my shop and switch out the plug end as I use the twist lock type for my 220 runs.

This should be a much better BS for cutting large blanks for my 3520B with the 2HP motor and with the two 4" dust ports it should keep it cleaner. I hooked up the DC hose with a "Y" connector last night. I still need to hook up a Metal JDS Automatic Blast gate to it, I forgot I have a few extra ones yet.




I think I did real good buying this BS over upgrading the motor on my other BS.

And now I maybe Trading my Ridgid BS for a 18X36 Drum Sander.

[Don Eddard]

Definitely a good haul. Congrats.

[Scott Hubl]

Thanks Don,

I think I got myself another Good Deal too.

A Much Needed upgrade for cutting blanks out of green logs thats for sure.

[Bruce Pennell]

Scott I have a GO513 with all the extra's, love it. I'm biting my nails today waiting for my 3520b to be delivered, got my spindle adapter and remote yesterday. Lathe left Phoenix this morning, should get here later today. Enjoy the bandsaw, I just love mine....Bruce

[Glenn Hodges]

Glad you were able to get it at that price. It should come in real handy.

[Scott Hubl]

Thanks Bruce.
You are going to LOVE the ~GOLD~
Congrats too.

[Scott Hubl]

Thanks Glenn,
I was going to upgrade the motor on the Rigid BS but kept sitting on the fence putting it off not really sure if I wanted to go that route or not, then this popped up and I JUMPED on it.

For the price I paid, I will add some upgrades to it.
The Kreg BS Fence comes off the other BS and I am looking into upgrading the guides, not sure which ones to go with, Grizzly offers 2 others over the Euro ones I have.

And I Might add the Cast Iron Trunnions < we shall see how the Steel ones do as I want to add a outward extention table to help support logs while cutting bowl blanks or hollow form blanks out.
