Grizzly G0444Z 10" Table Saw 2 HP Single-Phase 220V w/ Cast Wings

My Grizzly arrived on time, and had a couple of holes in the boxes. No damage was found when I unpacked them. The instructions were clear and precise. The saw did not need any adjustments at all. The blade was perfectly parallel to the miter slot. The Shop Fox fence was within .001 of parallel after installation. (lead out) The belt came in kinked from packaging, yet I can still set a nickel on edge while it is running. This saw is so smooth to operate it is really unbelievable for what I paid for it. The Grizzly raised letter insert looks great, but, will need to be replaced as soon as I can, as it will allow certain lumber to catch on the letters and cannot be adjusted to be flush with the table top on all sides. I adjusted the insert to be flush at the 4 set screws provided, yet the insert is warped somewhat. My next purchase will be a Zero Tolerance insert for it. The bottom line is, I do not beleive there is a contractors saw on the market that could begin to touch the...Read more

I have been an amatuer woodworker for a number of years, however I always found that my work was limited in quality due to various problems with my old table saw (Old Sears contractor type). After much research, I settled on the Grizzly G0444Z Contractor style saw. This is a right tilt saw (Grizzly has added a Left-tilt of the same model - G0576) with cast iron wings and comes wired for 220V. I preferred the cast iron wings for the weight and solid structure that they provide, and the 220V motor has more power for heavier cutting.

I picked up my saw at the receiving shipper in my area, since they only drop ship to the end of your driveway (Take Note - This saw weighs 300LBs and is VERY hard to lift, even in pieces) - the shipper loaded it into my truck for me, which saved me a ton of work. Assembly was a snap, and the saw was in almost perfect alignment right out of the box. After about an hour of assembly (with my sons help) I ran test cuts with a Forrest 60 tooth...Read more

I know this page is covered with glowing reviews for the grizzly go444z, but I am compelled to ad one more. For the money this saw cannot be beaten. Up until now I have been using a friends Jet cabinet saw and loving it. I didn't want to invest 1200+ in a cabinet saw so I started to look into contractor style saws, I read the reviews and bought a Griz. The box arrived quickly. It is heavy but not as big as I expected it to be. The fence arrived at the same time in another box.

The saw went together in about three+ hours. The instruction book is easy, clear and well illustrated. I am impressed by the surfaces of the table and wings. Everything went together well. One wing needed a tape shim and the other was perfect. The trunion needed a couple of hits to be in adjustment. I managed to do this with the saw on its feet. I think I got lucky.

When I am cutting I cant really tell the difference with the Jet other than a small vibration. We tracked this down...Read more
