I am lucky to have Grizzly's headquarters in Bellingham only about 65 miles away. I drove up yesterday (after about 3 years of wanting) and bought the G0555 Band Saw. I also bought the Shop Fox mobile base and I am glad that I did. It took about 2 hours to put everything together. After carefully reading through the manual, I was ready to cut. It is clearly the quietest piece of machinery that I have. The 3/8" blade that comes with it made very smooth cuts. And yes, the box will fit on the back seat of a good sized car. Mine is a VW Jetta.
I am hoping to use it in conjuction with my router table to make jigs like Bob and Rick.
I also have a 12 1/2" portble planer from Grizzly and am very happy. If you can, get to a Grizzly store. -Derek
