I know that my band saw wasn't marketed by Grizzly but was actually sold by Northern Tools. China made the same band saw and was branded by under several names such as Grizzly, Northern, Harbor Freight etc. I followed some of the alignment procedures, that was on YouBoob, and it cuts fairly well! Not exactly like a $1000 machine but it does me alright. I made a couple of improvements to make life a little bit better. I bought a Harbor Freight wooden dolly for about $12 and put the spindly legged saw on top with angle brackets screw to both. It raised it up by about four inches and with the four casters on the bottom it makes it very mobil and easy to move around. Really made it stable also. I also put a box of drop off metal stock in the bottom to keep it from tipping over with the saw raised for level cutting. I put a sheet rock mud tray under the cuttings to keep all that cuttings from getting all over the place.
