If memery serves me correct, out of the box, alignment was something like .004. Thats basically nothing. I was able to adust to within .001.You guys that bought a Grizzly G0715P, how was the miter slot to blade alignment out of the box ??

i'd suggest checking the blade. my 1 hp 70s vintage c-man rips 8/4 oak without incident or burning, provided it's aligned properly and i use a 24T blade with an aggressive hook angle. using a 40T combo blade wouldn't get the job done......I have an old Craftsman 113.298032 that was spot on out of the box, and has remained that way over the years......
Good point... I am using a 40 tooth....toolguy1000 said:i'd suggest checking the blade. my 1 hp 70s vintage c-man rips 8/4 oak without incident or burning, provided it's aligned properly and i use a 24T blade with an aggressive hook angle. using a 40T combo blade wouldn't get the job done.
It depends on the model. AFAIK, the G1023RL comes from Taiwan, the G0690 comes from China, as do most of the newer Polar Bear series like the G0715P.Id definately be stepping up to the 1023. Thats a well regarded saw. Its the saw that will be in my shop in the future.
I could be wrong but I thought most of Grizzlys large tools came from Taiwan, not China.
Enjoyment is 60% or more of the reason for me so far, it makes the heart so glad - your comment got a grin out of me :smile:Do you have 220v? (required for > 2hp) How much of a dent does an extra $500 make in your budget? For a hobbyist, there's no dire need to have a 3hp cabinet saw, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't enjoy owning one, or that it wouldn't be a good purchase for you.
I have 220, but would need to run an additional dedicated circuit.....No problem....knotscott said:It depends on the model.

yeah, i can see why you want a cabinet saw. why spend $30-40 for the right type of blade for the task at hand when one can spend $1400 for a whole new saw instead. :icon_confused:Good point... I am using a 40 tooth....

Oakwerks;524404.... I want it to be the right one....[/QUOTE said:any of the saws mentioned previously will perform well if set up properly and equipped with a blade that's appropriate to the intended task.
