Review Summary

So long as we took 1/16" or shallower cuts and used a steady feed rate, the G0725 produced surfaces free of chatter marks and tear-out. The two straight knives adjust easily by loosening the gib screws and rotating the jackscrews. The cast-iron body on this 95-lb machine virtually eliminated vibration, and when we jointed 6'-long boards, that heft kept it from tipping, even without being clamped or bolted down.

…

A nice little perk: The G0725 comes with a huge chip-collection bag that empties easily.

Don't buy Grizzly!

Review Summary

Bought it less then a year ago. It had to sit in the box for a while while I transferred to a new base. Finally got to set it up which was easy till the test. The blade was off. The side closer to the fence was cutting high. By looking at the instructions I figured it would be easy to adjust. Wrong! The cap screws were frozen. Three of them turned no problem but I couldn't get the rest to budge. Since it is still under warranty (at the time of writing this) I contacted Grizzly for help.

…

They were more then happy to give me advise. The said first try heating them but don't use a flame. If that doesn't work they said to use a hammer and chisel. They acknowledged that this method would tear up the cap screws but were kind enough to provide me with the information on the screws so I could go by new ones. Really? And what's the warranty for. Needles to say I now have a good anchor if anyone needs one for their boat.
