Fantastic saw at an amazing price!,
This review is from: Grizzly G0576 10" Table Saw 2 HP Single-Phase 220V Left-Tilt w/ Cast Wings
I have spent the last year reviewing table saws online and finally settled on this contractor style saw - mostly for financial reasons. I had my eye on the cabinet saw grizzly makes but couldn't come up with the cash for all of my other tools if I bought the bigger saw. I ordered this saw on monday evening and by thursday it was at my door! The box was a little tattered (be warned that all grizzly saws come poorly packaged) but everything was in perfect shape.
As for assembly... the instructions were so easy that even I managed to put it together! I had help from my 17 year old son. I suggest you have an extra set of hands around for setting the motor alignment and installing the cast iron wings. Put the legs on, the dust shute, the motor, the wings and the fence and you are up and running. I recommend plugging the saw in to 220v. It seems to like it better. Clean the saw off and double check the alignemnts and you are up and running. I think it took me 1.5 hours. My first cut was with a Freud glue line rip blade and it cut through 2" of oak like butter - smooth as a jointed rip! I'm glad I kept the extra money for other tools and got this saw. 2hp seems like more than enough power with a good blade. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. I hope there are a lot of grizzly tools under my xmas tree this year! Great company to work with. I have to mention the Shop Fox Classic Fence... It's dead on, easy to adjust and as good as any bies clone I have ever tried!

A Decent, Low Cost Contractor Saw,
By
This review is from: Grizzly G0576 10" Table Saw 2 HP Single-Phase 220V Left-Tilt w/ Cast Wings
This is my first purchase of wood working equipment from Grizzly. I am a home improvement contractor, so for my purposes, a decent contractor-style saw was all I needed. I don't make fine furniture, therefore, I didn't need a high performance cabinet saw. What caught my eye was not only the price of this saw, but also that it was a left-tilting model with a 2hp motor. The extension wings are also cast iron as opposed to stamped steel or aluminum that you find on some cheaper contractor saws. Assembly went fairly smooth. The owner's guide is detailed enough to get you through the process without too much head scratching. During the assembly process, however, is when you notice that the fit and finish of the saw is only average. The extension wings only line up to the point where you can say "good enough." No amount of shimming seemed to be able to get them totally true. If I was making fine furniture, it would be unacceptable. The tab seats for the blade inserts I believe are slightly off, since every insert I try rocks, even as I spent an hour with the set screws to level the inserts off. Once again, I had to settle for "good enough." The saw performs well, however there is more vibration from the motor than I would like to see. I spent a great deal of time to make sure that the belt was in perfect alignment. Now, I will admit, there is not enough table vibration to shake or shimmy a coin, so I may be a bit hypersensitive to this issue. Keep in mind that this saw is completely open in the rear and underneath, so dust containment is somewhat difficult. Overall, this table saw is a great bargain. Is it a Powermatic? No, but you won't be paying anywhere near the money a Powermatic costs with similar features. By the way, Grizzly's customer service was absolutely outstanding. I was missing a couple tiny parts, and they handled my call with complete thoroughness and professionalism. The missing parts arrived two days later. That goes a long way in my book.

Grizzly G0576 10" Table Saw,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Grizzly G0576 10" Table Saw 2 HP Single-Phase 220V Left-Tilt w/ Cast Wings
The table saw comes in two boxes. The saw in one and the fence and rails in the other. Both boxes were well packed and showed just a few scuff marks that were noted on the invoice, just in case. I arranged to meet the carrier at a local shopping center where we scooted the cartons from his tailgate onto my utility trailer. I was able to slide the heavy box from the trailer onto a dolly without any help.
Assembly was well documentated in the instruction manual and was not difficult. I had some difficulty with the guard and splitter because the picture in the manual was too dark to see clearly. The only other problem I had was getting the wings dead flat with the saw table. Finally, I ran out of patience trying to get them perfect and settled for close. I may go back some day and try again if it causes a problem. After assembly, my wife and I had a "First Sawdust" ceremony. After cutting a piece of wood and taking pictures we popped a cork on a bottle of champaign and toasted the new saw. The quality of this saw is top of the line. I highly recommend it.
