Just purchased the go513×2, picked it up myself at the Muncy store as I only live an hour away, be prepared as it comes almost fully assembled, bring a lot of rope, the guys in the loading dock very helpful, as they laid it down on it’s spleen for me.
Also purchased the shop fox mobile base, and listened to a few friends, and purchased the timberwolf blades.
I have owned a lot of band saws, as I do a lot of re-sawing, but I have to admit, this one put a smile on my face. Cutting 1/8” vaneers is like a hot knife through butter with the timberwolf 3/4” 3 tooth blade. I’ll be putting it throughy the paces over the next few weeks so I’ll let you know.

Grizzly makes great tools. I recently got the G0555 14” model and I have been very impressed with it. I have done some resawing with good results. Your bigger saw should be able to handle just about any project you take on. Good luck with it.

Hawkster,
I just got the exact same saw. It is unbelievable. Like you said, veneers are a breeze.

What’s the latest on your Grizzly bandsaw? Has it lived up to your expectations?

I have this saw being delivered before the end of the week. I will post a review once it is setup and running. I took the advice i found here on LJ and already ordered a WoodSlicer blade for it.
