My first Grizzly, bought 6 months ago or so, was a G0715P table saw. Having bought a couple of radial arm saws and another table saw years ago, the part I detested the most was trying to get them aligned. The Grizzly came perfectly aligned out of the box. Blade perpendicular to the table, parallel to the miter slots, and everything else. Tilting it over to the 45-degree stop, it was dead on, as measured by my digital angle gauge.
The two table inserts were both warped, but Grizzly sent replacements right away, and the new ones are perfect.
Next came a G0555P band saw. Same thing, even when I took it apart to add in the extension. Dead on. Blade runs without wandering.
Just last week a G0452P jointer came. Instructions say the cutter is aligned with the out-feed table at the factory, and it was. Confident in Grizzly, I didn't even bother checking that the two tables were parallel, but just ran a piece of badly warped 4/4 hickory through it. Came out with one side perfectly straight (5 or 6 passes at 1/16 in.), ready to go through my thickness planer.
Sure, just one guy's experiences, but I thought anyone in the market for power tools would like to know.
My only regret is that my small shop floor is now so full of tools (a vacuum system is there, too) that there's little space to walk. So no more Grizzlies for me for a while.
