    Default Grizzly

    Anyone know if the Grizzly brand of Bandsaws are available here?

    Have read excellent review on their 14" BS range.

    Grizzly is the US equivalent to Hare and Forbes and Carbatec. They import (mainly) Chinese machinery painted in their colours and with a Grizzly logo. Busy Bee is the Canadian equivalent.

    For instance my (Hare & Forbes) WL-46 Wood Turning lathe is imprted by Grizzly, Busy Bee and a few others. All basically the same machines, with minor options differing.

    For virtually every machine available here there is a Grizzly machine, in fact most of us here on the forum download the Grizzly manual for our locally sourced machines, far superior to the Chinglish rubbish "manuals" supplied here.

    You will find a Grizzly equivalent to the BAS350 bandsaw as well.

    Short answer - Festool, some blue Bosch tools that come from Switzerland - not much else.

    Ho hum......guess back to looking at H&B, Carbatec or WWWH.

    been researching the Basato 4......seems a reasonable 15" saw at good price?

    Ended up buying the Basato 4 band saw from H & F at their recent sale.

    I have posted a review of the B4 for those interested....
