Finally, a machine that costs more than my car.
Flipping around at the Grizz, it looks like the trend of moving further away from the home market has continued. Lots of stuff that's just a notch higher up the food chain than what I'd be looking for. No more $200 stuff, now it's all $500+ stuff; and not just because of the price increase.
I gave this one a close look too, but there was no dust collector port. A definite "show stopper" for me.

Wonder how long it will be before Norm has one in his shop... :-)

Is there a bench-top version? I just don't have any more floor space in my shop.
conveyor; very nice touch. Shipping is a pretty good deal considering and all.

I would expect that you could do about 5 ops with that one before you finish one with the wood mizer. OTOH, I think the wood-mizer is gonna handle still-in-the-bark quite a bit better; this looks more like a machine that really is more for re-sawing, not for rough milling of logs. Of course, I could be on crack.
Yeah there is, it's 4".
Get your checkbook out.
I saw this in the latest Grizzly tome that arrived yesterday. I was kinda chuckling when I read that the president of Grizzly used THIS VERY MACHINE to cut curly Koa into thin 0.200" slices. It IS impressive that the machine can do that consistently and all, but the line that made me laugh was "and he even got 3 more slices than he would have with a regular bandsaw" hehe.
I think I'll stick to tools that don't require a crane to get them off the truck.

I had to return the one I ordered. I paid for inside delivery, but the truck driver couldn't get the crates down the basement stairs. :-(

Would I use a 12ga or a 14ga extension cord for that?
Mike, I was thinking the same thing. While I think it's great that the president of Grizzly does woodworking I'm thinking they are getting a little carried away promoting this one sided view of the world. Not that I have anything against Guitar makers (although they do tend to slice up some pretty nice pieces of wood into something I wouldn't be able to use) but the overwhelming dominance of guitar making references in the latest Grizzly catalog is making me wonder if they aren't becoming a bit too myopic and it will hinder the rest of their product line.

I use a Wood-mizer a fair bit. I've always been pleased by how useful it was as a "workshop" resaw, not just out in the woods.
If the Wood-mizer is already set up on site, you could do one re-saw in around the same time as a handful of operations with the Grizzly. But this isn't important, because the "overhead" time still dominates the "per-board" time. Only if you start getting to over a dozen repeats would I start to see the Grizzly's admitted efficiency being significant.
The Wood-mizer is also a moving saw on a stationary bed. For lots of work on rough boards, or for quartering turning logs, this is faster to set up than a fixed saw with a transport. For timber framing work where the timbers are simply too big for a carriage (megabudgets apart), then the moving saw is your only option.
I think I could find a bandsaw for my garage that would cost less than the shipping on that one!
