while looking at this forum, I noticed that Grizzly Imports had a 10% coupon for anything that was good until 9/30. I have always wanted a metal band saw but could not justify the cost as here in the south, used machinery is not plentiful, nor inexpensive to ship - I was able to save for a while, and when I had the coupon, I purchased a Grizzly 17 inch wood/metal band saw. This saw has a 3 phase 2 hp motor that has a VFD already wired in and is powered for 220V 1ph. I also purchased 2 additional vs pitch blades for it.
Now I received shipping confirmation and am awaiting delivery sometime later this week for the saw which is being delivered UPS Freight. My only concern is how I will get the crate from the back of the delivery van to the ground. Maybe my tractor with a front end loader can come to the rescue!
Best of all, I already have the blessing from my spouse that said that if I didn't purchase it, I would be receiving one for my birthday next month - either way, I'm a happy camper... er.... novice machinist impostor!
Any others out there have this saw or could shed some info on this saw. Thanks in advance.... Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!~:rubbinghands:
