I've had this machine for a few weeks now. I'm a furniture and cabinet maker with over 10 years experience. I've used good quality jointers from 6" to 12". Today I finally got this one dialed in. Unpacking, setting up, cleaning goo, and the rest took about 3 1/2 hours. All parts were packed tightly and only minor damage found on the power switch - 2 paint chips on the corners.I emailed Grizzly with a photo of the damage to ask how they would handle it. Two hours later I received a phone call explaining that they would send touch-up paint, which met with my approval. Grizzly's service and communication was excellent throughout the process.
I had to spend some time adjusting infeed & outfeed tables to be parallel. HINT: do this part BEFORE you install the fence assembly. One of the set screws for the concentric adjusters sits underneath. I just got this completed today, and I noticed an immediate difference in the way the machine behaved. So far power has been more than adequate and the dust collection is working as expected. Another challenge was installing the flip-up wheel for the mobile base. There's one bolt to install that was nearly impossible with the interference from the base cabinet, but after some cursing and persistence, I won! The tools that came with my machine did not include a 3mm allen wrench, so make sure you've got one.
I like the high-mounted power switch, it seems to operate realtively quietly, and cuts have been glass smooth. So far so good...
