Hello,
Does anyone here have the Grizzly G0531B 21" bandsaw? I'm thinking about buying one, but I'm wondering how it compares to the G0636X 17" ultimate saw (or the mm16/lt16).
Seems like it's a pretty good value, 21" throat, 14" resaw, 5hp, electric brake, ~680lbs. What's kind of weird to me is that the 17" ultimate is more expensive, despite being smaller.. Granted, it has a 16" resaw height, but I wonder if there are any other differences in quality?
Anyway, would be interested in hearing any thoughts about either saw from people who own them or have used them.
Thanks!
