Everyone get the new Grizzly catalog...

[John Weber]

They must be doing well, it's seems thicker then last year. Prices seem a bit higher, but I don't really follow Grizzly prices. There were a few accessories and some hardware that caught my eye, but still fun to page through.

P.S. Don't worry I still favor Delta, Powermatic, and General, but they have lots of other stuff besides the Grizzly/Shop Fox stuff...

[Jim Ketron]

Not yet:mad:

[Jim Dunn]

A good friend ordered a 1023 and an 8" jointer before the price increase. Saved about $270.00 plus tax. Course he has to wait on the 1023 for 4 to 6 weeks:( I told him to hurry up as I've got lots to joint:)

[Dale Thompson]

John,
Yep! They spent more on that catalog than I have in my whole shop! :)

I don't own much Grizzly stuff but the few accessories that I DO have are an excellent dollar for dollar value. :) At least that is MY $.02. :)

I just got mine.....first one!!!

I can remember when I used to get excited about the Sears catalog......I like the Grizzly book better.

[Kelly C. Hanna]

I got mine a week ago....fourth one now. Even with the price increase they are still reasonably priced machines.

[Steve Clardy]

Yep. Week or so ago.
Check out the misprint prices on the Jorgenson Cabinet master clamps.
$60.00 for a 12". Lol

John -

Got mine! There was a thread about this last week and many folks had theirs - I didn't. So I went one line and ordered one. Mine came the next day. Maybe I will get another after the online request goes through.

Distribution of things like that (for our neighborhood) depends on the mail carrier. When our guy is out sick/vacation/etc., only the important (read light weight and not too much of that) mail is delivered. When he gets back to work, a mountain of stuff arrives. You'd think they would have a little "back room" discussion with the substitute carrier about getting the stuff out and not leaving it for the regular carrier.

Yours will appear soon "in a mailbox near you"!

Got mine last week. Amazingly, it falls open to the 8" jointer pages! Maybe this is the year....

[John Bailey]

Yea, well mine opened up to 142 pages all at the same time. I gotta go get a second job now that I'm retired!!

John

[Marshall Harrison]

Got mine yesterday but I had to open it myself. :D

[Rob Sukach]

ordered my 14" bandsaw on 12/28 and apparently saved $50...

[Jeff Cybulski]

Got mine last week (1/6) You think they could spend a little less on the catalog and keep the prices lower. I'm glad I got my G0555 last fall

[John Pollman]

It's been a few years since I've gotten a Grizzly catalog. After 2-3 years of no orders they stopped sending them. I just ordered a new one yesterday.... I can't wait ! :) God I love catalogs !!!

[LT Dever]

I'm green with envy....:D

John,

Have to disagree a bit here:

General is great.

PM is pretty good, but I have a feeling it's a company in decline.

As for Delta...

For any of the big items -- TS, BS, Jointer -- dollar for dollar I'll take Griz over Delta any day.

For that matter, I'll put my G0555 Ultimate Bandsaw up against any other bandsaw on the planet that can boast of a 12" resaw capacity, ball-bearing blade guides, blade tension release lever, a minimum of 1HP motor, and a price under $500, (okay, $550 now).

OOPS! I forgot. There IS no other saw in that category! :D

[Kent Cori]

Q: Do you know why Griz tools are all green?
A: Because that's the color of all the money I've sent them over the years. :D

That catalog is just too tempting for a man who is as weak of will power as me. :eek:
