The only new bought stationary machines in my shop have a Grizzly badge on them. The drum/disk sander has given me faithful service for 25 years; my G-0636X bandsaw is a real gem, though I've only had it about 3 years. I had a 1.5 HP shaper, too, but sold it after about 15 years because I just didn't use it much. I got back nearly what I paid for it. Of the three machines, the shaper was pretty unrefined though it did it's job OK. Customer service has always been very good, and that's over at least 25 years.

I prefer used machines because they offer more value for your money, but I've had nothing but good experience with the Grizzly machines I've purchased and would buy from them again without hesitation.
