I've had my G0514X2 for a while now. I have no real complaints about performance, guides, etc. You know what my major complaint is? Why oh why are the wheel covers hinged so that they have to open 180 degrees in order to change the blade? The most natural place for me to put this thing is jutting out 90 degrees to the wall but I can't because the doors won't open far enough and they completely block the blade unless they're open all the way.
Surely there's a better way of designing these things,no? I don't think it's specific to my Grizzly. I've seen others like this too. I can't be the only one that's not happy. Is this really so difficult to engineer into a bandsaw? WAAAAHHHHHHHH!
*composing myself*
So seriously, does anyone have a solution for this? It's really not that big of a deal but I'm reorganizing my shop and I would love for this to no longer be an impediment. I'm looking for something simple. There are so many clever people here, I'm sure someone's figured something out by now :)
