Title: Disfunctional Top Pully & Table
Product review: I bought this hoping that it would be a good upgrade for my 1970's DeWalt. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a mistake. The spring-loaded cantilevered top pully may be the poorest design going. I started by replacing the 16g 125v lead with a 12g 250v cord. It now starts faster but jerks the spring on the top-pully and eats the belt. I've tried holding the tension handle but the entire mounting system gets tweaked somehow and the belt won't stop racing off until it's too late. I've been tweaking tools for 30 years and this is the first one that has me thinking that Craig's List is the best solution. I've also been cruising the blogs hoping that some aspiring engineer will sell after-market fixes for this Grizzly embarassment! Don't buy this model. Buy something that has 2-bearings on both pullys.
