Grizzly Table Saw

Feb 08, 2006 25 Replies

I have found a new Grizzly G1023Z 3hp table saw that was set up to take pictures for a magazine article and used to cut a couple of pieces of wood during pictures. It is in like new condition with the parts protected and in storage right now. The question is: what is it worth in the condition described? It has the Shop Fox Fence and standard rails.

I have an old Craftsman cast iron saw now with a WW2 and link belt, that cuts really well, but I hate the fence. Prices for the new fence average $250 - $300 for Bies/clone and others, so I am wondering if I should just use the Craftsman with my sleds and use the money towards the Grizzly or ????

Thanks, Digger

Since it is assembled, and you won't have to pay shipping charges, it would be worth about 95% to 100% of list. Just check it out for alignment as you would any new saw. Ed

I would want to adjust everthing, as it was probably just bolted together at the photo shoot for pictures, not accuracy.

Maybe more... since all the cosmoline is probably removed.

I dont know about that,,,, ;!) A lot of furniture being imported from Mexico seems to have a yellowy brown finish that was probably mostly Cosomline. That much Cosmoline could be used on a lot of projects.. LOL.

Or in other words - Traves best kept secret . . . . sheep lube! LOL!

LOL! lol! lol!

LOL! Jums he he he hehehe

Actually a razor blade got most of the cosmoline off the flat faces of the saw in a hurry. They just needed a quick wipe with some paint thinner to clean up. The groves and other rounded portions are a pain however.

I remember something that worked good for a friend of mine when cleaning Cosmo (sheep dip) off one of my older rifles. Its called Ed's red

Check retail. You might offer no MORE than 60% of retail (don't forget shipping) to see what happens. I'd pay not much more than that, even if the saw is perfect. For one thing, you'll not be getting a warranty. Or, if you're feeling fiesty, offer half of new price. You can always come up. You can't come down.

His bottom dollar is $600 (delivered). It's $1000 from Grizzly right now, but this one is assembled and de-sludged, and only needs fine tuning. That's worth something to me, so I'm thinking of latching on to it. Just bought a Grizz 6" jointer with two sets of blades, off of Ebay for $232.50 delivered, instead of the $450 I was planning on spending. Now if this broken leg will heal, I can finish getting the new doors on the garage and moving the WW tools in!

Anybody own one and what do you think?

I got my G0575 last July and I love it. It's a world better than what I had before...Craftsman. Cheers. Joe

Ev> Anybody own one and what do you think?

Yes

G1023

Like it, never a problem.

I have the G0444Z with the 2 extra long extension wings, the G0555 bandsaw (a real jewel) with 6" extension kit, and a wood lathe. I have no complaints about Grizzly quality or service. Will be buying from them again in the near future. If you have a chance I would drive to Grizzly's show room and pickup myself. Shipping is pricy. I drove 300 miles to Springfield Missouri to get my stuff. It's a real experience to visit one of their showrooms.
