Grizzly feedback

[cordovan]

I'm looking for some input from any woodworkers who have used the larger grizzly woodworking machines. I'm looking to set up shop over the next year with a 15" planer, an 8" jointer, tablesaw and possibly the 16" drum sander.

My limited experience with Grizzly is with a 12" disk sander I use for knifemaking which has been great / reliable. Only complaint is the finish on the adjustable work table is mediocre and one of the adjustment screws doesn't because it ran out of threads. Is this typical for Grizzly on their larger machines as well, with regards to being mediocre on the fit and finish?

Thanks for the feedback!

Unfortunately I can't tell you anything about the large machines but I've got a shop full of their smaller stuff, tablesaw, bandsaw, bench sander, planer etc. and they are all an excellent bang for the buck far better than anything one would find down at Lowes or similar.
