I've had mixed opinions about Grizzly, owned a bunch of their stuff over the years, some good, some not. Personally all of the machines like this will take some fiddling to get dialed in unless you drop some serious money for a CNC version. If I was the one running it, faster yet but employees were the typical ones. If memory serves, I think we cut drawer making time wise by at least 25% by moving to this type of setup. The pneumatic clamps are very necessary on this type of jig, probably one reason I liked it way better than the OmniJig we used for years. They also eliminate about half of the possible human error just with not having the router in someone's hands.

Your arent picking up a router 50 plus times to do a normal size job.

That type of setup being a manual tracer pin style is still hands above a router and jig. I just separated from a shop that had an Omec manual dovetailed very similar to the Grizzly.

I have a portable spindle sander that works great and know of another woodworker that has a widebelt and dust collector that all work perfect and have been for many years. But I think you are mistaken about the overall quality of the machine.

I don't think without using the machine in it's full capacity that the problem would have been discovered. I could have lived with it but it was a new machine and with calipers I was able to locate what the real issue was. It was only after many boxes being milled that I noticed a pattern to where a small error was happening. This was a mistake that I think would be really hard to find during a quick QC test. Probably take a half hour with a file or 10 minutes on a milling machine. So now I have a spare clamp that I can fix with a file.


The clamp was replaced, the machine was in great condition. The pneumatic clamp was milled uneven on the two flat areas. If you are doing a kitchen a week or more I'd opt for the auto machine which I don't think Grizzly has. You can go against the rotation with solid wood even though I don't. I usually do my cutting with the rotation of the bit to keep the plywood from delaminating which can happen when the bit starts to dull. If you go taller than that it will take 4 passes and you'll have to do it like you would on a hand type router jig, one corner at a time. I don't see any deficiencies in the way the machine was built. I do mostly Baltic Birch drawers so the bits don't last as long as if I was using maple. I setup the G0611X machine which was the toughest part, getting it perfect.īut now that it's setup it's very easy to make a drawer. I told them, they sent me a new one and didn't even ask for the old one to be returned. The casing was milled out of square and tipped the board a bit. I had an issue with one of the clamps when it arrived. Well I bought the "G" machine and I am very pleased with it.
