I currently own Grizzly Imports 8" Jointer and 15" planer, both
of which are very good for the money paid (~1400 delivered).
No problems so far, and the people at grizzly are pretty good
about talking to you.  They will even give you the name of
the nearest person that has the item that you are considering
buying, so that you can go look at it (this is done, of course
with the permission of the other person).  Shipping was on
time.  If I hadn't already pruchased a used Rockwell Unisaw,
I may have given the 10" tilting arbor saw that Grizzly imports
a try.  That one runs about $800, a little more than half
the best price that I've seen for a new unisaw, and is a
'copy' of the unisaw.

The machines come pretty well greased over, to protect them
from rust, etc., so expect to do a some cleaning.  Set up
was straight-forward.  Currently, a friend has been using
this equip. more than I, and I'm sure he'd have something
to add.  Mike, are you there?
