I never owned a bandsaw before, would like to make small bandsaw boxes. http://grizzly.com/products/14-1-HP-Bandsaw-Polar-Bear-Series/G0555P |

You won’t be disappointed with that bandsaw for your intended use. The “P” is identical to the G0555, except it’s in white and a little cheaper because of that. The 0555 is an excellent bandsaw for the money – many of us here have it. The only thing you may want to consider is adding the riser block ($70) to increase your resaw capacity to 12” instead of 6”. -- Optimists are usually disappointed. Pessimists are either right or pleasantly surprised. I tend to be a disappointed pessimist. |

That saw is an excellent value. It will be around, supposedly, for only a short while so act quick before they are all gone. As live4ever stated, it’s the exact same saw as the G0555 so I wouldn’t worry about getting parts for it after this promo runs out. |

You won’t be disappointed with that band-saw, I have the 14 inch G is an excellent band-saw for the money – like mentioned many of us here have it. You may want to consider adding the riser block ($70) to increase your re-saw capacity to 12” instead of 6”. That way you get the blades you need now instead of later. I love this band-saw. Good luck. -- Ken, "Everyday above ground is a good day!" |

Steven: I have a grizzley 555 extreme and it’s been one of the most dependable tools I have. -- Life is good. |

So glad to read this. I’m in the market for a nice band saw, myself. Hope I can catch one before they’re all gone. -- See my current work at RavensCroft.Etsy.com |
