Assembling my Grizzly 1023SL

Saturday I was unable to get away to the shop but I made it Sunday morning with high hopes about getting my new table saw put together. Overall the assembly was pretty easy and straight forward, and I have it all together except for the blade guard witch I may or may not put on later.




Although, I didnt have the resources or the time to get power to the saw so I never got the chance to cut anything with it. That will be my assignment first thing in the morning though. The saw is 220v so I cant just plug it up to a regular socket. Luckily I do have 220 in my shop but the plug isnt really close to the saw and it looks like I will need to purchase about 16 of the appropriate cord to get it ran. I also have to buy a plug because the saw doesnt come with one since there are various 220 plug arrangements. This shouldnt be a problem but it just means another trip to Lowes. Cant complain about that because when you are setting up a shop it seems like there is ALWAYS something else you need.

I even went to Lowes today in search of some wiring things to get the saw running but when I arrived it seems that I didnt do enough research back at my shop to see just exactly what I needed to get the saw running. I did however pick up three sheets of 3/4" birch plywood to build a nice outfeed table out of though. That will be the first thing I build using the new table saw, I cant wait.
