Grizzly Sander
Grizzly Industrial makes a range of electric sanders. A majority of their products are stand-alone floor models, and are designed more for an industrial application than for the average home user. On the other hand, some models offer the home enthusiast an opportunity to use the same tools as professionals, giving them an edge in local markets. In contrast to most other manufacturers, Grizzly sander motors are often measured in horsepower rather than amperage, as they are expected to handle a superior workload.
Grizzly Belt Sanders
One innovative Grizzly machine is the 2" wide extra long belt on the knife sander. This mounts to one end of a traditional electric grinder motor, and the opposite side can be fitted removable grinding or polishing wheels. Other belt sanders include the traditional portable belt grinder, and a selection of combination belt and disc grinder models.
Grizzly Drum Sanders
Grizzly is a leading maker of industrial and commercial drum sanders. They make units that range from the small 12" Baby Drum to drum sanders capable of handling a 37" path in a single pass. Most Grissly drum sanders are stand-alone floor models, so plan for the dedicated shop space before you make the purchase. They take up a great deal of space, not including the area needed to manipulate your materials.
Grizzly Disc Sanders
Grizzly disc sanders are available in many different models, but two of the most popular ones include a combination belt and disc combination. This allow a variable arm belt sander and the dependable cut of a straight disc edge to be used as needed, bringing the best of both types of sander together.
Grizzly Spindle Sanders
Grizzly spindle sanders feature a wide work table that allows your material to be easily maneuvered around the spindle. Smaller models start at 1/3 horsepower tabletop models, and the sander shape ranges from a pedestal design to heavy-duty box construction.
Grizzly Quality and Cost
Grizzly is one of the most innovative companies in the field. But the cost of their innovation tends to be higher than many are willing to pay. One of the common threads in consumer reviews is the fact that these industrial grade machines are more than the average person needs, but that they are well suited for both small and large business applications.
