Hello All!
Post #1, although I have been lurking on here for years. There are some very smart people on this site and I can usually find what I am looking for without having to ask.
That said, I have not been able to find anything about this one. I have heard people say that you should get the same quality cut from your band saw that you get from your table saw. I have been frustrated with the results from my 14" Grizzly. My best efforts produce a result that still requires removing about 1/32" on the planer to remove all the saw marks. I have installed Carter bearings, trued the tires, and increased the blade tension as high as I can. Nothing seems to help. I am starting to wonder if that level of finish is the most I can hope for from this particular saw.
My next question is, how much will I have to spend to produce significantly better results? I have been doing some research, and the 17" Grizzly is within my budget. Does anyone have any experience with this saw, or any recommendations for another saw in the same price range?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
Troy
