So far I like everything about mine. Had slight shipping damage but it was
taken care of in short order and have had no problems since. I bought
TimberWolf blades for it and never looked back. I get little or no drift in
the small amount of resawing I have done. Made my own resaw fence, a loose
interpretation of one I saw here in this group and it straddles the factory
fence and clamps to it. It uses an "edge guide upright and works well. I can
try to post pics if you are anyone else has interests in it.
I would buy this saw again in a heartbeat.

I just bought the Grizzly 15" about 2 weeks ago. Went to the factory
store in Bellingham, Wa to look at the different sizes. Had to retire
my old Craftman 12" and found the new Grizzly to be a great saw. The
instructions for putting it together were bad but other than that it
has worked great for me. I am in the middle of making a craddle out of
maple and it has done all that I have asked it to do.

You might want to go to <http://groups.google.com> and enter the keywords
"grizzly ultimate "band saw" OR bandsaw group:rec.woodworking" (leave out
the quotes on the ends but include the ones around band saw. You'll get
more than 80 hits. If you leave out the "ultimate" you'll get well over a
thousand in which Grizzly bandsaws are mentioned--it may be worth reading
some of those as well.
Generally before posting a question on a newsgroup it's a good idea to check
google groups for previous discussion of the topic--if it's one that has
just been the subject of a 500-post thread which ended in a flamewar then
the regular participants in the group may get a bit surly about reopening
the discussion.
Also you'll find a broader discussion on most topics by that method--posting
to the group you get the benefit of the views of those who are
participating _now_, going to google you'll likely get their views as well
as the views of others who for whatever reason either no longer participate
in that group or don't access it while your post is active.
