Does anyone know how the tools from Grizzly Industrial are? I see their ads in most of the woodworking magazines but haven't seen review one and haven't seen them mentioned in any of the equipment test. They have a 13" planer and a 17" bandsaw for what seems to be a really good price. I'm almost thinking the prices are too good to be true.

I have a G0555 bandsaw and a G0575 table saw that I bought within the last year. Both are very good machines and are a good value. They are simple and easy to use. You must replace the bandsaw blade with a good one however, as it is not really very good. Otherwise, I really like both machines. They are very good to deal with also; I had a problem with the packaging on the table saw fence and they really were on top of it. Called them and they called me back with a solution within 30 minutes. The fence was fine, however. Check out lumberjocks for reviews.

Thank you for replying to my post. I think I will purchase the G0689 planer first. I'm in the process of building a laminate top work bench out and the planer would really save a lot of extra work. I also have my heart set on either the G013X2B or the G014X band saw to use once I get back to furniture building.
