Pulled the trigger on a Grizzly G1023SL!!

[Rob Nolan]

Hi,

I just placed an order for a Grizzly G1023SL ... very excited! :D

Of course I know none of you will believe me until I have pics! So since I don't have any could some of you who have one post some pics of your setups so I can get some ideas on how to setup mine?

Hope it ships and gets to me ok.

Thanks! :)

[Bryan Rocker]

I will definatly be interested. Its on my short list......

[John Kain]

Can't wait for the pics and your review of it's steadiness and noise level.....

:D

[Rob Nolan]

... Depending on how the G1023SL and overall Grizzly experience goes I may be buying a G0490 ... I need a new jointer bad!

Does anyone know how long the low price on the G0490 will last?

[Scott Coffelt]

I would expect at least for a few months, but I wuld n't expect all 2006.

Congrats and enjoy! Feel free to borrow this pic for a little while to tide you over until your's is up and running. :D

[Rob Nolan]

Thanks Scott!

I was torn between the CS 22124 like you have or the G1023SL but I just couldn't wait for the big sale! You got an awesome deal! I don't know if we will see deals like that again on the 22124!

Bought new in 1994.

Updated the fence with a Accusquare system.

Rob,

Rob,

I remember reading somewhere that the GO490 price would be good through 2006. I though that Shiraz Balolia had made that statement himself but I did a search and could not find it. I remember it because I had already ordered mine before I saw that statement as I did not want to miss out on what I thought was a real good deal and figured the price would go up soon. Has happened to me before.

If you can confirm the price being firm for the duration of 2006 it would give you a lot of time to delay the purchase.

I'd be interested in the time frame on the G0490 price also. Whichever way I finally decide to go, it will be toward the end of the year. Jim.

Congrats Rob, It's a great saw at very good price, I've had mine for three years now. I'm very happy with it.;)

[Dave Harker]

Rob, congrats - I know the feeling, I got my 1023SL just over a year ago.

Enjoy!

Here are pics of my delivery, unpacking, setup, etc (jointer too).
The page needs to be updated to show the extension table and outfeed table I built, but I've got pics of those elsewhere on my website. See the link at the bottom of the jointer/table-saw page.

Good luck,
Dave

Dave,

I actually found your web page while looking for reviews ... great job putting that together.

If all goes well with the new saw I'll be getting the G0490 right away.

Right now I have a Shopsmith so these two purchases will really help me out. It's tough to use a 4" jointer on larger lumber.:confused:

Thank you all for your kind words!

[Rob Blaustein]

Congrats, I am another happy owner.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Rob...............Congrats! If I'd found SMC before the LOML bought my new saw....I'd be driving the same thing you ordered! Photos expected, of course!

[Chris Padilla]

I have a '99 G1023Z...she's been doing well...doing well....

[Scott Coffelt]

Chris nice to see that you have had a little more time to post lately.

I've had mine for a number of years and love it, though mine is the 1023S. The fence scale ins't that accurate though, some day I'll change mine out to a sterret.
