Grizzly G0513 Bandsaw

[Cabotcat]

Just bought it. While I didn't have much room for a tablesaw (hence the BT3100 purchase), a resawing bandsaw is a must. I always purchase stock and size it to my needs. Much more efficient than buying already sized lumber.

I'll post pics as soon as it arrives.

I don't have one, but Thom and I looked hard at one in the store last week.
In person it's a heck of a saw. I think you'll be super happy with it. Pat

Cabotcat,

I'm thinking about the same bandsaw, too. Is the only diff between this one
and the "X" one cast iron wheels? Also, one concern of mine is how am I
going to get that into the shop? Do you have a hoist or do you own a forklift
as they suggest in the manual?

Thanks,
Paul

In addition to cast iron wheels, the "X" also has:
polyurethane tires, cast-iron fence & larger table. Consequently, the shipping weight is ~30% higher.

There is a short review with detailed pictures on WoodNet.
