Going to be setting up a NEW woodworking shop soon and I am thinking of going with all Grizzly tools. Would like to get your comment on the following equipment from anyone who has them.
G1023SLX - Table Saw G1182HW - Jointer G0550 - Planer G1035 - Shaper G1495 - Lathe G2891 - Lathe Copy Attachment G1014Z - Combination Sander
Thanks, Bob W.

Works fine for me - was dead-on right out of the box! (Only tool I have on your list)
Thank you for responding Morris. Bob W.
I have the G1023SL and the G1182Z Jointer. I'm happy with both but if I had it to do over again, I'd probably go with a right tilt tablesaw since the T-slot on the left side is much closer to the blade. Guess it's just what I'm used to. While I like the tablesaw, I kind of wish I'd have spent the few extra hundred and got a Unisaw since it's a lifetime tool and the centerpiece of any shop.
I have other Griz products such as s drill press, air compressor, and bandsaw that you didn't mention and overall, I'm happy. I'd probably opt for a different bandsaw if given the opportunity, but I don't dislike it.

Bob,
I bought a 1023slx 5hp TS about a year ago. It is by far the best money ever spent. I lost my unisaw in a fire. was looking at powermatic 66 ($2300 +/-). decided to take a chance on grizzly ($1000 +/-). I have no regrets. Better TS than my unisaur IMO. I have an HTC fence and 7' rails on it. It cuts like a champ!
