Leon,
maybe by reworking the tensioning mechanism they've fixed the
hysteresis the original mechanism had. That would be a good thing.
I'm not sure why they would change it otherwise, there is nothing
difficult about using the original lever.

I'm glad to hear they are improving their product rather than milking
the cash cow - it bodes well for their future. Grizzly became 'real'
when they stopped making knock offs and started doing some
re-engineering of their products. All in all, I 'spect this is good
news - too bad you have to wait though. Let us know when you get it.



And you know what I am getting for Christmas. A band saw book, 4
Timberwolf blades, and a band saw mobile base. All that and no new band saw
to use them on... Ironic huh?
