So yes, I expect to be happy with the Grizzly. I am just puzzling now
how to deal with a 460 pound crate.

If you have the freight forwarder offload it from the truck using
their
electric lift expect to get a serious balance due bill from them. I got
clipped for 0.50+/lb. for a load of MDF cabinet doors I ordered for a
job.
Smoked my biscuits.

I checked with Grizzly about that. They charge an extra $39. Not
pleasant,
but better than the alternatives.
Once I have it on the ground, I can strip off the crate, table and motor,
and get the weight down to 273 pounds. Still heavy, but carryable.

Chances are, "some assembly" is required, and it's already in pieces...
My guess is that the stand, table and motor are not attached to the BS..

That would save some work; but I don't think the driver would let me uncrate
it in his truck.

Just got a G0593 & G1023SLWx a few weeks ago.

Grizzly sent me an email with the shipper & contact. I called
them and made sure they knew this was residential and I wanted
to have it end up in my garage at the end of a 30 ft slightly
sloping driveway. They said it was the driver's call but they
had delivered many Grizzly's and could usually pallet jack into
the garage. The biggest hassle was getting the jointer bed onto
the lift gate. Getting it all to the garage was not a big deal.
Tipped the driver....
