Another poster suggested that Grizzly had 3rd rank quality control.
Most of Grizzly's machinery is built wotjin ISO certified quality
systems. I went through ISO certification at my previous employer and
it isn't something that is just handed to a company. I certainly saw
no lack of quality control in my saw, or the new 15" Grizzly planer I
bought last year.

ISO does not assure high quality. It assures consistency. If you
make a high quality product, the next one will be the same as the
last. If you make a crappy product, the next one will be the same as
the last.

ISO certification means you have policies and procedures to cover a
series of situations. Inspections certify that you follow them.
