Not to mention they're un-ergodynamic as ----. Only thing that ever happened to mine was some **** sucker borrowed it and set it down on some hot plate after he finished grinding. It melted / fused the trigger and its gaurd together. Seems like he paid $12 to have Hitatchi ship me a new trigger assembly - good as new.
Trigger, that brings us to safety! I love that the trigger has a massive lock on it so that you can set it down without worrying about it - unlike Dewalts reinky dink version that is the exact some POS from their weakest 4 1/2" model to their large 9" model. Unsafe as ----. And I like the fact that unlike everyone else that leaves their gaurds off because they have to screw/unscrew it to adjust. The Hitatchi was the fiirst one AFAIK that uses a flip lever clamp. My gaurd never comes off my grinder. Ive seen disks fly apart wtf would I NOT want my gaurd on for
Im pretty sure we both do all our cutting on a bandsaw or chop-saw. But I bevel and do landings on the angle grinder. Do all the adjusting after the first cut with an angle grinder. Takes too ------- long to re-cut ---- and Id still wind up re beveling so...
Ya, I think eventually Ill get tired of dragging projects into work just to do some AC tig. Ill snap and come home with a Dynasty 200 and a Lincoln Power MIG 350MP will follow it at some point. Still love those Power mig's we had at school. Love their pulse.
Day the HF bandsaw fails Its being replaced with one of these:

Not their best. The deck doesn't swivel. Still a good buy. 7*12" hydraulic bandsaw with fluid & 1hp motor for a grand. Nice.

Re: having bitch of a time fitting collector parts
Really? In what ways? We've never had anything but good to say about Grizzly. Aint top of the line most of the time, but it's solid medium and above.
We've got the pervious version of the G0513x
G0478
G0593
Old delta drillpress has a 3hp Grizzly motor on it that does a fantastic job.
Im interested to hear what broke!
