I got my Grizzly holiday catalog. I noticed that they are selling a “polar bear series” of tools. It is my assumption that they are saving money by using the stock white machinery parts of shop fox/jet and calling it a polar bear. Not a bad idea I might add. A universal paint color probably saves them thousands of dollars per year.

Now people have three options to color cordinate their shops.
