Grizzly G0833P Tablesaw

After having researched table saws for a while I had decided on the Grizzly G0715P only to learn it has been discontinued. After visiting the Grizzly website I see a new model on back order G0833P. The product page has specs that seem to match exactly the 715P. After examining the spec sheets I think the main
differences are:

- Additional 1.5 in dust port to attach to blade guard
- Cast iron miter gauge rather than aluminum
- Aluminum fence rather than HDPE
- Cabinet mounted trunions

Not sure if this has even been available for purchase yet, and I have not seen a single review online. Does anyone have any experience with this saw?

Grizzly's customer service ("Ron") told me the G0833P has a dust hood under the table. It also has a flex hose directly attached under the trunnion plugged directly into the port at the bottom of the saw.

Conceptually, similar to the SawStop of PM1000/2000 methinks.

Hi All,

I'm new to the site (though I've lurked for a while) and recently moved to GA from Chicago. At the new house I'm setting up a new shop with some upgrades.

As part of the new shop, I took the gamble and bought the G0833P. For the price it looked pretty good. The improved dust collection was a big plus since I'll be in a basement woodshop. Its a little scary having 0 reviews anywhere online, but we will see!. Hoping for the best.

I ordered last night so I'm not sure exactly when it will be delivered, but I'll check back in and let you know how it goes.

Jeff,

Definitely let us know how it goes. I'm in the same situation as you setting up a basement shop. Just need to get my area framed in and wired and then will probably pull the trigger on this. Unfortunately not allowed to use the whole basement. Good luck, looks like a great saw!

awilson,

I'm about the same, just finishing off 1/4 of the basement, so it will be a small shop but I have a lot of plans. Electricians are coming Wednesday to install a sub-panel but I'll be doing the rest of the outlet wiring myself. Then drywalling, lighting, ect.

Anyway, I'll update when I get it!

Look at this picture.

The overarm hose has a right angle junction there. A wye junction would preserve more airflow. As it is, you'll get next to no effective airflow at the blade.

The saw looks interesting, but you'd want to replace that whole bit with one of these:

I'm looking pretty hard at the saw right now, myself. I will definitely keep track of this thread.

While that T-junction is a suction-killer in most applications, I doubt if it's bad in this one…..

Because, really…..how much dust do you generate from the top of the saw? Nowhere near what you do from the bottom of the blade.

The problem with over arm dust collection isn't just how much but the velocity if the dust. It moves so fast you really need to have good airflow to move a lot of air to get it sucked up.

The one thing though that will help is that Grizzly tends to run a 3" hose from the 4" port to the saw blade so at least will cause a bit more suction from the overhead dust port.

On my Grizzly saw, I had the shroud re-welded to put a 4" port on it and then ran a 4" hose to the bottom of the saw and so now I have 4" to the blade and 4" on the overhead, but I'm also running a 5hp dust collector with 6" main trunk.

Wanted to drop a quick update. I had hoped to have some good info for you today…..
UPS Freight called Wed to schedule a delivery for Thursday 12-6.
Thursday afternoon they called to say it didn't make it to the local depo that day so reschedule for Friday 12-6
Friday…......... 6pm I call to see what is up.

I'm told they "can't locate the shipment". uggg.. It got to ATL 5am, but my 6am they couldn't locate it.

The biggest thing that annoys me is they didn't call with an update. I had to hunt them down.

So anyway, UPS and Grizzly are looking for it.

if it shows up I'll update the thread.

I have a similar setup and it works just fine. With your idea you will have a slightly different air distribution, more to the bladeguard less to the saw. I am not sure that that was your intent, but that is what you will get.

Almost purchased a sawstop yesterday but couldn't pull the trigger without more research.
Safety features aside, I can't imagine the sawstop is 2 1/2 times the saw as the grizzly, as the price indicates.
Any further info from someone who owns this saw would be greatly appreciated.

The extra cost is something you will have to consider. What is the value of the safety feature alone worth to you. Then, take the extra cost and try to compare apples to apples. If you're pricing the pcs cabinet or the ics or the contractor saw?

I have a Grizzly table saw and a few other Grizzly tools but everything I have heard and read and see, the Saw Stop really is one of the best built table saws overall. Even over the Powermatics.

I got the saw all assembled over the weekend. The top of the fence, which will be the face of the fence in low profile orientation, was damaged a little bit during shipping. Its not a huge dent, but if I was running something along it and had pressure on the front it would move the workpiece. Grizzly was very nice on the phone, however since its a new product the fence is backordered. They are seeing what they can do and will get back to me.

Aside from that, the saw is very solid. All the pieces are heavy, blade guard on top moves smoothly, fence glides well.
I would up taking the top off to make is lighter when wheeling it around my to my basement door. Even without a top, it was heavy.

Unfortunately since I just moved (Chicago to GA) and am building my new shop, I don't have any wood around to cut up (other than 2Ă—4s that I need to start framing). I was all excited to do some test cuts, just used to having tons of scrap around, that it wasn't till I went to get a piece I realized I had no scraps.

I will say it is a a lot quieter than I was expecting which is nice. I'll try to get some wood this week to cut up, or when I start framing cut up the scraps. However it will be a while until I start doing real building and put through it's paces.

But if there are any specific questions let me know and I'll try to get an answer.
