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.

Thanks Martin One, with riser, went on eBay for $260. If you need/want a "lite" duty 14" bandsaw, could be a good deal -- -------------------------------------------------------- Personal e-mail is the n7bsn but at amsat.org This posting address is a spam-trap and seldom read RV and Camping FAQ can be found at http://www.ralphandellen.us/rv |

Thanks Martin 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. Kip Powers Rogers, AR |

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. Dick Durbin |
