bonsainut Member Registered: 03/09/10 Posts: 169 Loc: Orange County, CA Is it worth it to purchase the "extreme" Grizzly 14" bandsaw?       03/09/10 05:46 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Looking at 14" bandsaws, and thinking the Grizzly may be my choice. However they offer several 14" versions and I am considering the two higher end versions - the G0555 "ultimate bandsaw" or the G0555X "extreme series bandsaw". The standard version comes for $450 plus shipping. The extreme version comes for $695 plus shipping. So what does the extra $250 get you? "We made the stand heavier, the table bigger, and the cast iron wheels stronger to take on your toughest jobs. We've even added a Re-saw Fence and a built-in light." Plus the motor was upgraded from 1 HP to 1.5 HP. The weight increases from 210 lbs to 262 lbs, so there is an extra 52 lbs of "stuff" in there somewhere. Would it be worth the extra money to you? Or would you rather spend the $250 elsewhere (on other tools or accessories)? Post Extras
