- I have a neigbor with the Grizzly, and I have played with a number of
- unisaws. My impressions:
-
- 1. The grizzly is not a bad saw for $900. No comparison to the
- Unisaw, though. The Unisaw is obviously higher quality, with
- smoother, more substantial controls, arbor, etc.
-
- 2. The jet lock fence is lousy. The Grizzley fence is even worse.
- Figure ~$300.00 for an aftermarket fence if you buy either of
- these saws.
