I’ve read all of these comments with great interest.

Here’s what I’ve got to say for what it’s worth:

1) I bot a high end Laguna band saw – it was damaged in shipping – it had a bent base where someone dropped it. Laguna didn’t want to replace it. It never tracked right from day one – no matter how much it was adjusted. Bottom line: I’ll never buy another tool from Laguna.

2) I’ve owned a lot of Grizzly tools—the best one was their high end oscillating spindle sander. I bot an 8×80 inch belt sander too – never was happy – especially with the phoney hight adjustments. There were other serious issues too. Bottom line: I’ll never by another one from Grizzly – same machine as 10 years ago

3) I bot a delta tenon jig – made in Taiwan – I suspect it was no better than the one from Grizzly that was discussed here.

4) My 20” Jet planer = a good tool at a fair price.

5) My Powermatic cabinet saw and 5hp powermatic shaper cost an arm and a leg – but everytime I turn them on they perform very good and I don’t worry about them too much.

I operate under the philosophy that “a poor man cannot aford to buy cheap tools”

Welcome to LumberJocks. Glad to have you aboard.

How high up did you complain about the dropped saw. The shipping co and up the line at Laguna.

Someone should fix the problem. And it shouldn’t be you.
