A few years ago, a friend of mine with a cabinet shop bought a 3 HP Grizzly
shaper. He said he loved the saw, but hated having to replace every single
adjusting bolt and screw on the fence assembly. He said the original
equipment bolts and screws were very soft and the threads deformed and
stripped very easily. One bolt even broke, I believe. Other than that
annoyance, he got good service from the machine. He finally bought another
shaper and a cabinet saw from Grizzly.

I bought a Grizzly lathe, and it works fine, but it took a lot of fine
tuning to get it that way. Even had to send the motor back to them so
they could fix a pulley. So much trouble that I avoid Grizzly tools
now, even though they are cheaper than other brands. You might get one
that works fine, who knows. But if you go with them, be prepared for
some time fiddling around with stuff you probably didn't expect to have
to deal with.
