Grizzly SBW-1401AG Bandsaw, 14-Inch, 0.75-HP Review

If woodworking is just a hobby, then this bandsaw is a great choice. I'm sure that "for a few hundred dollars more", bandsaw 'X' is much better. However, a lot of people do not have a few hundred dollars more to spend. Fact is, the bandsaw did not even flinch at resawing 5" thick oak and did so reasonably accurately.

After a month of usage, here are a couple observations. First, plan on spending a few hours assembling and adjusting the bandsaw. The better the job setting it up, the better it will work for you. I found the assembly instructions to be a little unclear in a few places and there were a few screws and nuts left over. For the life of me, I cannot figure out where the 'spare' parts are suppose to go.

Also, you will want to purchase a 93 1/2" blade right away (a 3/8" 6 TPI blade seems like a good general purpose blade). Do not bother taking the time to install and adjust the blade that comes with the saw. Seriously, that blade will make you sad. And then you will end up redoing the work when you install a 'good' blade.

The fence that comes with the bandsaw is OK, but you will have much better results resawing if you make your own resaw fence.

The only complaint that comes to mind is that the saw seems to have a zillion orifices for saw dust to leak out of. Even if the bandsaw is the only thing connected to the dust collector, there is still sawdust all around the machine.

One important thing to note is that the bandsaw ships via freight. If you are not familiar with dealing with freight companies, then keep in mind that they ain't UPS. They have their own way of doing things, so just go with the flow. After you place your order, Grizzly will send you an email explaining how delivery works. The important thing to note is that you are responsible for getting the bandsaw off the truck. It is a two (or three) person job and do not count on the driver helping. You MUST reply back to this email before Grizzly will release your order. I was told that for an additional $40 (on top of the $74 shipping), the freight company can make the delivery using a lift-gate truck and the driver will unload the saw for you. I chose to get the saw off the truck myself.

Once your order ships, keep an eye on the tracking. The freight company should call you to schedule a delivery with in a day or two of the saw arriving 'in town'. If they do not call you, call them yourself to schedule the delivery. I was told that the bandsaw should be delivered on a regular truck between 9:00 and 5:00 and that the driver would call an hour before arrival. What actually happened was that the driver did not call and showed up at 5:15 with a liftgate truck. Since I asked nicely, the driver unloaded the saw and dropped it off in my garage. My experience with freight companies has shown this to be not all that unusual.

To summarize: I am very happy with the saw and, like other Grizzly products, I expect that this saw will last a lifetime.
