Not noticed it on the three Grizzly machines I have. But it's true, final safety is in the hands of the operator not the manufacturer.

Unfortunately, when one sticks their hand in a table saw blade or other piece of wood working equipment, the warning becomes clear. I ripped about 150 1" x 1" x 4' spacing stickers out of pine today to stack some oak lumber that I am going to saw on my sawmill. I have had two acquaintances in the last year that put their hand in a table saw blade, and the results were very, very ugly. I thought about that often as I was doing the repetitive ripping. The brain is more important than the horsepower or brand name of the equipment. Your post serves as a good reminder.

Reminds me of an amishman I used to know. His tools were all set up to run on pneumatic and hydraulic power off of a diesel engine, and he would always say "you can use my tools, but remember, they don't have brains". He's about 2 hours south of the grizzly HQ, not that it has anything to do with it.

I've seen it posted in several machine shops over the years, it's also one of my favorite rotating avatars. ;)

If that's what Grizzly is selling for a band saw they've really upped their game, but it isn't/they haven't.

That's a pre-Asian Invasion Made Powermatic 14" (before Powermatic copied the Delta 14").

It's most likely a No. 143 Wood/Metal Cutter (the box on the back covers the transmission).

For some, stupidity is a form of happiness. Its pursuit is 'condoned' by our Constitution. Signs like this could represent an interference...
Best wishes,
