Bobd67, While not the G1021, I recently purchased a Grizzly G0454 (20” regular blade). The regular blades leave a good finish that requires a quick sand with the ROS. Unfortunately, I had a pressure bar that had a bow I saw during setup. Grizzly CS sent a quick replacement. While this is not OK, it is the nature of the transaction. I also have the 8” Grizzly Spiral head jointer which does leave an excellent finish (still gets hit with the Ros though). I am currently happy with planer and after some time adjusting and learning the machine’s personality , have eliminated any visible snipe.

Grizzly, like most manufacturers, can be hit or miss. What Grizzly has going there way with me anyway is their excellent tech support and customer service to resolve any issues you may have.
