Has anyone read anything about Grizzly new Hybrid Table Saw? I cannot tell if it is a rebadging or they actual did something new to their hybrid. Not much info out there yet. So if someone knows something let us in on it. I am interested in getting a smaller saw but most hybrids are really over priced and portable saws will not work for me. New saw is GO771 with introduction pricing that I think is decent if they fixed the problems they had with the GO715P. |

I have the new Grizzly Polar Bear Hybrid. I love it. Its powerful, accurate enough for me, fence is great. Pushed a couple thousand feet of hardwood through mine and its well worth the money. Actually it’s a great value. IMHO -- Design and Build are one in the same. |

New saw is in 2015 catalog. Talked to Grizzly about it but tech. was not familiar with specs yet and did not want to make any statements he could not verify. He did say they have already sold some of these saws. I think Grizzly is waiting for a rollout program after first of year to get info out. I have not received my 2015 Grizzly catalog yet. I first heard about saw from a member of woodworking club but I got Popular Woodworking magazine today with Grizzly ad showing GO771. Furniturefarmer, How was the setup on your saw, no problem with blade adjustments. Is this saw similar to the Steel City Hybrid? Have you had it long enough for a review? |

Woah, they need to go ahead and come out with this thing. Any prices on it yet? |

I was able to find the 2015 catalog and manual online. They’re available on Grizzly’s site but not listed/linked to. A saavy user will be able to tweak the Grizzly URLs and get to them. A few observations:
My thoughts, is that the saw is very promising. The aluminum fence seems like the weak point to me, and I would hope that upgrade options are readily available. Nevertheless, I think for the price (introductory or not), it Photo of the 2015 catalog listing below: -- paxorion |

Hey Paxorion, for us un-saavy users please share the “tweaks” that you used.

Not sure how kosher it is to directly post the link, but it does involve updating the following URLs with either a
For reference, here are the links I worked off of:
Word of warning, the 2015 catalog is just shy of 200MB, so it will take a while to download. -- paxorion |

Fascinating, after getting a better read of the manual, it looks like these “cabinet mounted” trunnions may be attaching the cabinet, trunnion, and cast iron table with the same bolts. -- paxorion |

I noticed that the owners manual has a copyright date of July 2010. And a revised date of Dec 2011. So what took so long to get this saw out in production? -- Perform A Random Act Of Kindness Today ... Pay It Forward |

http://www.grizzly.com/search?q=G0771 675.00 for the saw according to Laura this morning. 1 – 800 – 523 – 4777 plus freight etc….. Seems to be of good value. |

I called and talked to Tech Support the other day. From that conversation I feel that it is a downgrade from the G0715P. It has a much downgraded Fence system. The table and trunnion are held to the Frame of the cabinet by the same bolts (neither table nor cabinet mounted trunnion or BOTH table and cabinet mounted trunnion) My opinion it could be a real pain to adjust alignment if the table and trunnion both move when you try to adjust. My biggest concern is this is a “new” product and there are limited or NO user reviews on it. just my $0.02 |

Is this saw a Jet Pro Shop generic? I have looked at both, well Pro Shop hands on GO771 on paper they seem to share a lot of common ground. A friend has the Jet Pro Shop and he also thinks they are the same except for price and cabinet. His Pro Shop is an older one and it mounts with table, cabinet and trunnion using same bolts. He had no problem adjusting blade/miter etc. |
