Just pulled the trigger on the Grizzly G0555P 14" bandsaw. Now I have to wait for it to get here. I thought about going for the 17", but for my use couldn't justify the higher price. Any set up tips will be greatly appreciated.

Now I have to figure out how to talk my wife into letting me get he Jet 16-32 later this month when it goes on sale at Woodcraft for $799

Go throught the manual and take as much time as possible to set it up properly. It is worth the time. I have the GO555 (no p) with the 6 inch extension block. I use it for curves and resawing. It is a great machine if set up acurrately.

Thanks for the tips, just came today. I have to mow the lawn though before I get to put it together :evil:

oddly enough, the delivery guy asked my wife if I made guitars.....I wonder why buying a Grizzly Band saw would give him that idea?
