Picture isn't great, but this is listed as a 5 year old 16" Grizzly bandsaw. Can anybody tell which model it is from looking at this picture?

Thanks,

Jim

Model 1538

It's a good bit older than 5 yrs, I'd believe 25 maybe. Had one, not one of the Grizzly finer pieces. It's so old the manual isn't even on line, but they'll fax you a photocopy if you like.

In all fairness to Grizzly, they have improved a thousand fold from those days. I wouldn't have any reservations buying any of their new stuff, but I'd run like the dickens from that one:D

I just sold one of these and purchased the G0513X2. Bought mine new in 1989. It actually was a pretty good saw, served me well, and wasn't bad for the money. It has aluminum wheels, cast iron table, and rubber tires. Depending on the money, I think it is a fairly good machine, and much better than some of the BORG junk one can buy. I sold mine for $325. How much is this one.
