Hi Harry, I have a Grizzly 15" band saw, which appears to be a smaller, no-frills version of the 17" saw. I've used it extensively without problems. While better saws are probably available, this one has performed flawlessly. No complaints. Max |

I have a 24 inch that is close to the 17.
I have had to repalce the bearings in the upper wheel and the shaft. I was in a hurry and tapped them in with a hammer that worked for about 6 months. then the next time I got the bearigns from grizzley and pressed them on that has worked great. What you may not relizes is that this saw has been running for about 6 years. It runs for a mininum of 11 hours day 4 days a week plus over time My cutter who run the saw average about 48 hours a week. In the last 6 years the saw has been down for about 4 hours total Larry On Wed, 22 Sep 2004 05:07:00 GMT, "Maxprop" wrote: "harryc" wrote in message Grizzly has a 17 inch bandsaw with 2 hp motor for a resonable price.
