Yeah, that Grizz 14" sure looks like one heck of a good saw, nobody says a bad word about them! My only issue with Grizzly is the shipping costs from them can be as much as the tool itself!

Maybe for some items, but for the G0555, it's $76.50, for a delivered cost of $471.50. That's only $38.50 more than I paid for mine some four years ago. That's still a terrific deal, especially considering the features this model includes (fence, quick tension release, and Carter-style bearing guides -- although I consider the last to be merely different than the more common block guides, not necessarily better).

For $76 I can take the ferry, drive to Bellingham and still have a couple of sawbucks left over. If I decide on accessories, the shipping for them is free. I do keep trying to talk myself into it.
