I was surfing the web looking for various tools and came across this. 15" Grizzly with 1 hp motor. Just 15 minutes from work.  I made contact with the guy, and he gave the usual "runs great, looks great, barely used." He offered a decent price, so I went and looked at it. He wasnt fibbing a bit. Although this is now a discontinued model, it was in excellent shape and ran like a top. Still had new original blades that still had the wrapper around it. I payed the man and toted this thing home. I changed out the blade to a course one and set it up. A test cut on a well seasoned hickory stave confirmed my suspicions. This thing is awesome! :) :)

Nice score. Grizzly probably has any parts you would need if necessary.

That's a beautiful piece of machinery! You'll get plenty of use out of that, I'm sure.

I plan to introduce it proper to some Osage this weekend.  I need to order some blades for it.  At 103", some blade manufacturers do not offer that size.  I like Timberwolf, and they make some really good ones that size, so its all good. :)

     Dang, that is nice. My Brother, has a Grizzly table saw, and loves it.  he gave me the six inch jointer, as he never used it, and it came in a package deal he got from Grizzly.  If it is a discontinued, model, I would see about getting parts that might wear out in the future, now.  Blade guides, wheel tires, bearings, etc.  Nice find.  That is one of the things I need to get for my shop in Mt., when I go back out there in June.  I need to get a table saw also.  Well I think you will enjoy that for quite awhile! ;)
