It may help to know I don't think it is in stock yet...

At the end of last year I bought the Polar Bear 14". I put it together and made test cuts. I didnt have to set the fence for drift. I think the saw had been put together and test run before shipping. For the money, it's a very inpressive saw...

What is the diff between this and the G0555?

What is the diff between this and the G0555?
The LX is not in their on-line catalog. From what little info is in the flyer, the only difference I can see is cast iron wheels on the LX.
It says it is normally $545 but it's not listed. The 555 is normally $525.

I recently sold my G0555 in favor of a G0514x2 (stealth gloat), but I'm still interested in the old girl. I don't see the logic in this. They already have the G0555x and the G0555 and the G0555P. I never found the wheels on the G0555 lacking.

Now, if I were Grizzly, I'd consider making a G0555"B" saw with upgraded bearings and bearing assemblies, but that's about it ;)

Hm. Interested in possibly ordering one of these, but they aren't available on the website like the flyer says (yet). Where did you find out about this flyer?

[Van Huskey]

The saw was actually showing on their website for a little while last night but it clicked through to the main page, so curious I did some googling, now it comes up thrid behind the two threads here but yesterday the press release I posted came up first.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. If this actually gets released I'm tempted, especially at $445.

One other small difference I noticed was the blade speeds: the 555 is 1500/3200. This new 555LX is listed as 1800/3100.

For anyone looking for an entry level 14" saw it will be hard to ignore at the intro price. For around $565 (liftgate shipped) it will be hard to beat, I think they will sell a lot of them.
