[David Mueller]

A preliminary peek at the new big boy. More to follow after I get it spit shined and all tuned up. All the boys in the shop are getting a spiff up for the pending spring tour, available here soon.:cool:

Oh, I didn't realize that Grizzly was putting out an Ape series.:D Which one is that anyway???

[Byron Trantham]

That's one big bad boy!!!:D

[David Mueller]

It's a G5959z left tilt 12"'er replacing a Dewalt 744 portable. Karl, it's not clean enough yet, still has the cosmoline on. It's going to eat a lot of wood since I promised the LOML new kitchen cabinets by the first of the year. Now to find a real 600# gorilla to hekp get it off the pallet.

[Jim Becker]

Very stout machine!! Congrats. Looking forward to your upcoming thoughts on the tool...unlike the G1023 series, the larger saws don't get as much commentary.

[Tyler Howell]

Looks like a-lot-a horses to me!!
Nice

David,

I have that same green gorilla but tilting to the right.

I absolutely love it and think you will too.

I stepped all the way up to it from a direct drive Delta contractors saw and it really empowered me to do many things I might never have considered otherwise. :)

One of the really cool things about it is its long dado arbor--it really nice to be able to cut 5/4 dado in one pass. :D

Now that is a lot of spinning metal. Make sure that you keep your fingers out of the way ;)

[Mark Rios]

Nice!!! That's a beaut!

Here's the question..........

Mark, Mark, Mark...

Now that's just plain... Funny!

I also got a 12" Forrest WWII 40 tooth and an Infinity dadonator to go with it. I plan to pick up something for plywood soon.
