Hi-
I have researched all the threads on the Grizzly G1026 3HP shaper and the older average opinion seems to be luke warm at best. Grizzly is running a free shipping promotion and I am stuck w/o a shaper right now (sold my little Reliant and bought a used POS Delta-Rockwell that isn't what I was told). So if possible, can someone post a picture of the G1026 internals? I am interested in seeing the raise/lower mechanism and also hoping to get a glance at the size of and distance between bearings. Or a first hand description would also be appreciated
Also would also like to hear comment on the G1026 smoothness (nickel test?). I can tell you my little 1.5HP Reliant ran like champ on oak & maple R/P doors and was SMOOTH.
By the way, I will be parting out the Delta-Rockwell soon, if interested in anything, please feel free to send a PM.
Regards to all.
