This review is from: Grizzly G1010 4 1/2" x 6" Metal Cutting Bandsaw (Misc.)

I have had this bandsaw four months, and had no idea I would use it so much. Have cut mainly angle iron. Cuts are precise, and very little noise. Unlike a cut off saw. Clamp material to be cut in saw, turn on, walk away and do whatever. Machine will turn itself off when cut is complete. Only negative--the blade that comes with it is worthless. It is only good for set up of the saw. I bought blades at Home Depot, (Rigid Brand, $10). Have cut material for 6'by 10' trailer and many other projects and still using the first blade I purchased @ HD. I think a bargain for $200.

This review is from: Grizzly G1010 4 1/2" x 6" Metal Cutting Bandsaw (Misc.)

I bought this bandsaw because of the first review and the low cost. I figured that it may not be built as sturdy as some others, but it was what I could afford. As for that, it probably isn't as sturdy as the $600+ metal cutting band saws, but I doubt that there is a band saw for near this price that is as sturdy and well built as this one. This band saw makes accurate cuts, it doesn't seem to have issues even with hardened carbon steel. Probably it's biggest upside is that it is extremely quite (I live in a town home, so this is definetely a huge plus). As for the issues the second review listed about directions; this saw had directions that were just fine (unless you're not really handy). All in all I agree whole heartedly with the first review here...this is a great tool, and definetely priced below it's value. My recommendation: if you are looking for a good band saw at a low price (or even if you aren't), buy this one, it is a wonderful, well built, quite tool.

I can see reviewer number two's point. Included with my new grizzly is only a greatly shortened portion of the manual, without the assembly instructions. However the full manual is available on line at [...]

Other than that, I needed a small metal saw for my just-starting hobby machine shop. I joined one of the small metalworking user groups, and asked for recommendations. This seems to be the one everybody liked best.
