I am seriously considering purchasing this machine. has anyone had any good or bad experiences with it?


Thanks for replying.

Sorry, 


My experience is limited to my Bridgewood (very similar to Grizzly). It is a no-frills mortiser but does a nice job.

Steve, that particular mortiser has the dovetailed ways that the head rides up and down on, it is very stable and virtually zero play in the head as you would have in the double column mortisers. It looks like  solid performer to me, yet I have not personal experience. I read the specs and it seems to be a very robust machine and solid. 


Like I said, those dovetail ways caught my eye immediately!

Steve, I'm like John, it looks awesome, but I have not used it myself.

thanks John. Well I will let you know soon as I have ordered this mortiser. The stoutness is one charistic I liked also, being that it was under the $400 price range.
