Finally I have pictures

[Gordon Eyre]

As promised, here are the pictures of my new bandsaw that I won during the last SMC drawing. There was a part missing and I could not get it setup until yesterday. I still have the extended fence on back order but other than that it works great. I cut my first board last night and was impressed with how quiet it is and virtually vibration free. You will note that I purchased the extension for it which expands the resaw capability to 12" from the original 6".

I am 6'1" so you will get a feel for the size of the machine with the extender in place. The saw blade increases from 93.5" to 105" with the extender. Fortunately I anticipated that and ordered three 105" blades.

[Larry Browning]

Gordon, that looks great! I know you will have many hours of fun using your new saw.

BTW: May I be the first to say: YOU SUCK!

[Bruce Page]

Congrats Gordon! That's a fine looking bandsaw!

[Bill Wyko]

Congratulations Gordon, I too have a Grizzly BS, I don't think I could get more features and a quality build anywhere for even more money. Very happy with mine, you will be too.

[Cyrus Brewster 7]

Really cool! I know you will enjoy it.

[paul cottingham]

Very nice! And you do, indeed, suck.
i am considering that saw, so would you be so kind as to give us your impressions of it after you have used it for a while?

[Harold Burrell]

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Congratulations Gordon! Nice looking bandsaw! May it serve you well.

[Keith Christopher]

I have the same bandsaw (didn't win mine however. :) ) you're gonna love it. First thing though, get new blades the one is comes with cuts lousy. Well mine did anyway.

[Paul Saffold]

You look like a happy camper. Good for you. Looks like a nice setup.

The one that came with it doesn't fit because of the extension so I bought three new Timber Wolf blades.


You look like a happy camper. Good for you. Looks like a nice setup.

Thanks Paul and Ken.

That's a hoot! You can't assemble a contest winning machine because a part is missing! "Well sir, we have some good news and some bad news." LOL! Glad it worked out, congratulations on the win!

[Jim Finn]

I have an older version of your saw and installed the 6" riser also. The only use I have for this saw is to resaw and I find that woodslicer blades or carbide blade$ are best for resawing. Woodslicer blades are cheaper than the carbide blade$ but dull pretty quickly in my opinion.

Actually Richard I was very excited and happy about the win and so when I discovered that the quick release tension lever was missing it was not a big deal. I was glad to wait the week and a half to receive the part and the Grizzly customer service people were very helpful and pleasant to work with. I also had to borrow a large box wrench which I did not have. Now that it is up and working I am a happy camper.

[Ronald Blue]

I have to say I am Grizzly GREEN with envy. Congrats and Harold said it best but he obviously needs to spend more time in the shop..LOL.
