Customer Review: Grizzly G0444Z - GREAT SAW !
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been an amatuer woodworker for a number of years, however I always found that my work was limited in quality due to various problems with my old table saw (Old Sears contractor type). After much research, I settled on the Grizzly G0444Z Contractor style saw. This is a right tilt saw (Grizzly has added a Left-tilt of the same model - G0576) with cast iron wings and comes wired for 220V. I preferred the cast iron wings for the weight and solid structure that they provide, and the 220V motor has more power for heavier cutting.
I picked up my saw at the receiving shipper in my area, since they only drop ship to the end of your driveway (Take Note - This saw weighs 300LBs and is VERY hard to lift, even in pieces) - the shipper loaded it into my truck for me, which saved me a ton of work. Assembly was a snap, and the saw was in almost perfect alignment right out of the box. After about an hour of assembly (with my sons help) I ran test cuts with a Forrest 60 tooth blade, and found them to be virtually perfect.
The Shop-Fox Aluma Classic fence is probably the easiest fence that I have ever used, and I would HIGHLY recommend it. I liked it so much that I talked a buddy into retrofitting his older saw with it, and he loves it too.
The only problems that I have noted with this saw are as follows:
- The Grizzly logo blade insert looks great, but can catch on some smaller pieces - The Zero Clearance inserts that Grizzly sells are very good.
- The drive belt cover clearance can become a problem if the blade is lifted to full extension. Check the alignment of the cover when you install it, very carefully.
- The dust collection cover is really an add-on, and I needed to add some additional fasteners to ensure that it didn't move around.
- The Miter gauge that comes with the saw is OK, however to get truly accurate miter cuts, I would highly recommend you replace it with the Incra V27 - a VERY good, VERY accurate, and VERY reasonably priced Miter Gauge.
Overall, this saw is absolutely THE best-buy on the market (in my opinion) for a Contractor Style saw. I would HIGHLY recommend this saw to anyone who is looking to upgrade their shop with a truly accurate table saw. The fit and finish of this saw is excellent, and the cast-iron wing extensions are GREAT. I have had great service from their web-site, and I intend to purchase additional equipment from them (as soon as I can convince my wife to let me)
