Yep, my wife calls that catalog my porno mag.

I have very little brand loyalty with tools. I usually do my research each time. But for large tools, my shop is starting to look like a mini Grizzly showroom.

I'm up to 3 Grizzlies in my shop and I'm drooling over several more. One at a time!

Buying power tools is like getting tattoos, once you get one you want another. Got my eye on a thickness sander next. This year was the first year I hunted strictly with a self bow I made. I think I may sell my wheeled bow to cover the cost of it. No sense in it collecting dust. Besides I had way more fun hunting primitive.

ooooooh  nice saw!

Nice saw! After seeing your Grizzly, I hate to admit mine is A Craftsman!  It is only 4 years old, what a piece of crap!

[Bowjunkie]

Mine is a Craftsman too, an older decent one, and has served me well, but I sure wish I knew about Grizzly tools before I bought it.

My band saw is an older craftsman too, about 12 years old. Was the top of the line saw back then.. 14", 1.5 hp, made out of cast iron. Never had a problem with it and it's cut a lot of bow wood and other wood. But today I would buy a grizzly.

Craftsman saws are not what they used to be, they changed the design and manufacture them in China now. Mine is only 4 years old and already the blade tensioner bolt is stripped out, they don't sell the 89.5" blades for it at the local Sears for it either. Years ago I did have an old 12" Craftsman from the 70's and was very happy with it! It never let me down. I think I am done with Craftsman power tools.

I have that same Griz saw, love it!!

Got it all set up,tuned and put the 3/4 " blade on today and made some saw dust. It cuts great, way better than the 14" saw I killed a couple of weeks ago. Took some small left over hunks of osage and walnut and resawed them into 1/4' pieces to glue together for riser blocks. it was a little pricey but is gonna save me time and get better use of my wood.
