Opinions on Grizzly Bandsaw Model 1019Z
 

I have an opportunity to pick this saw up used for about $125-$150.
I have not had a chance to get across town and put my eys on it, but at this
price would this be a good deal?

Thanks

Martin

Martin,
I have a Grizzly bandsaw but I'm not sure what model it is. Its a 12" saw
w/ a 6" riser block. I only use it for roughing out turning blanks and it
has served me well in that capacity. I don't think I would try to cut
veneer or anything that fancy with it, does not seem to be machined to the
kind of tolerances that would need. But for my uses its great.

One, with riser, went on eBay for $260. If you need/want a "lite" duty
14" bandsaw, could be a good deal

I have a 1019 vintage 1989. Like Tiny says, it's OK for roughing out
bowl blanks. It is not a precision machine by any means.

I have had one for five or six years and am perfectly pleased with
it. Like others have said, it is not a precision tool, but it is a
good value.
