Who It's For
Serious hobbyists who want a full 12-inch resaw capacity in a 14-inch footprint without adding a riser block, powered by a 1-3/4 HP motor. The taller upper frame and cast-iron table suit frequent veneer and hardwood resawing. Buyers who only occasionally resaw, or who want the cheapest 14-inch entry, can save with the standard G0555; those needing a 17-inch-plus throat should look higher.
What Owners Praise
- True 12-inch resaw capacity with no riser kit required
- 1-3/4 HP handles hardwood resawing that bogs down 1 HP saws
- Large 16 x 21-3/4 inch precision-ground cast-iron table
- Quick-release tension, work light, and a closed cabinet with storage
What Owners Report as Limitations
- Guide bearings wear and need periodic replacement
- Cast-iron frame design can flex when tensioning wide (over 1/2 inch) resaw blades
- Needs careful tuning and a quality blade to reach full potential
- At 334 lbs it is heavy and awkward to reposition
Upgrades & Compatibility
Accepts 104 to 105 inch blades 1/4 to 3/4 inch wide at 1690/2950 FPM. 4-inch dust port. Two-position extruded-aluminum resaw fence and miter gauge included. Aftermarket guide bearings and carbide resaw blades fit; Grizzly Bear Crawl mobile base available.
Alternatives to Consider
-
The standard Grizzly G0555 is a 1 HP 14-inch saw at under half the price, but tops out at 6 inches of resaw without a riser block.

The Jet JWBS-14SFX offers a 1.75 HP steel frame and 13-inch resaw with a larger table at a comparable price, but a steel rather than cast-iron frame.
