It is enlightening to notice that most "grizzly is crap" stories start out with the "10 or 15 years ago" statement.

Grizzly 10 or 15 years ago was like Harbor Freight is today (ok, maybe not that bad). Their product quality has changed dramatically, and what they sell today usually rivals just about anyone.

I have 4 grizzly machines, and they all work beautifully. I will definitely buy machines from them in the future.
