Grizzly Polar Bear series

flipping through the latest issue of Woodshop News, and I find the "dazzling white" machine line... Is Shopfox finished?



there is a smoking deal on the G0513P 17" bandsaw ---- $698! plus $89.00 shipping.

Definitely a good time time upgrade Bandsaws. I think the lawyers and media event surrounding the Jet vs Grizzly color hoohah will only get Grizzly free advertizing.

Isn't Shopfox a separate company?

Isn't Shopfox a separate company?

I believe it is a separate brand, but closely associated with Grizzly. I've heard that both companies share common ownership. ShopFox is a brand meant to be sold in retail outlets rather than direct-mail (Grizzly). However, some models are also available direct from Grizzly. The ShopFox models tend to be very similar in design to Grizzly modes, frequently they would be the higher-end models in the Grizzly line-up.
