All of their products are rebranded. It's hit and miss with them. What were you looking for?

I have a few things from them that work well, but on the whole they aren't a quality product. I'd look elsewhere when buying new. Is there something specific you were considering?

I have a compound sliding mitre saw. Works ok, but wish I had spent a bit more and got a better one. Not the best quality, but like I say, cheaper, and works ok.

I have an oscillating tool by King. it's OK but not any where close to Fein ...
it serves my purposes alright but if I was using it everyday probably would have a different opinion.

Have the 10 inch sliding miter saw, noisy gears but works fine. Also have the 4 1/2 inch disc grinder for 10 years tough little grinder still works great.
Also have the milling machine , the one with the bigger table, 1hp, works real nice.

It's rebranded. And I believe grizzly sells the same one. Try there and lookmfor reviews.

Sasky, the King model mill/drill i bought is comparable to the Grizzly G0704, but mine has the longer wider table that has more X and Y travel.
When i got it , i found it needed barely no tweaking at all, just the general cleanup, i also bought the factory stand with it.
If you google "Hoss Machine" it has a bunch of info and reviews there about the Grizzly model.

I have a 12" thickness planer. I bought it because I had 500 board ft of red oak to plane .

It needed a bit of tweeking out of the box, but it's been reliable. and accurate. I can get replacement blades locally.
Also Have a biscuit joiner that I bought used at an auction. Not fancy, but it works well.

I have one and may be selling it in the next couple months due to a move. Let me know your timeframe.

I have a 10" bench grinder that has seen heavy commercial use and only the power switch failed which we replaced. The failure was due to employee abuse.

I have the sander as well but it has not seen a lot of use. I believe the scroll saw is from them as well.
