You didn't read the stand assembnly instructions did you? Your shipping crate arrived in a lot better shape than mine, I think SAIA tossed it down a cliff. Did you remove the paint where the table trunion mounts? Paint don't make good shims.
I am interested in buying my first band saw. I am looking at either a Jet 12 inch band saw, a delta 12 inch or a grizzly 14 in 3/4 horsepower bandsaw. It will mainly see light use. Thanks for the advice.
@MrDanthefisherman1 I own this very same saw and I love it. Just one thing, don't try to use the blade that comes with it in the box. It's only there for shipping purposes. I learned this the hard way and there wasn't much said in the instructions on this. For someone who never owned a bandsaw, I was lost for a bit. But now with a new blade it runs great.
@dgmunch I got the bandsaw and love it. Much nicer to use than my jig saw. I am very glad I opted for a 14 inch saw. I really like the resaw capacity.
@attainableapex I wondered how long it would be before someone saw that. You are very observant. I switched it right after I shot the video. I'm embarrassed!!!!!
i got them directly from grizzly's website. Or just Google timberwolf band saw blades. The blade that comes with the saw is horrible compared to the timberwolf blade. I am using a 3tpi hook blade IIRC. Cuts through hard woods with ease. I ripped 8ft long, 2in thick hickory boards with it, and hickory is some tough stuff.
I have had this saw for about 8 months, i purchased it when it was on special for $395. I have only used it for bow making and other miscellaneous cuts and with a timberwolf blade it is a great saw.
You caught me,(on the table thing) I switched it right after I made the video.

@wjsoc07 OK, I'll play your game. Why didn't I read the stand instructions?

you know i think you might have your miter slot on the wrong side of the blade.

Great video Thanks! Say, where are these saws made? Is it China as you guessed or what?

@Darthmagnet I had to go look on the saw. It says Taiwan. It really is a nice bandsaw. Thanks

Very Nice! I just received my G0555X two days ago and got it all assembled yesterday evening. Yours looks almost identical to mine.

@joeyns75 Thanks for watching. I wanted to get the extreme model too but, had to go with the ultimate.

Thanks for the video, I'm researching bandsaws for a new purchase and G0555 is one of the top contenders.
