What is the difference between this Grizzly and the Harbor Freight 2 Speed Mini Mill?

I have never used the HF Mini Mill, but if it is truly a 2-speed unit, the Grizzly mill is preferable if only because it has a variable-speed motor.

The main difference between the Grizzly model G8689 and the Harbor Freight mini mill is the tool Taper. The G8689 uses a Morris Tapper 3 (MT3) and the next size up of the Grizzly and the Harbor Freight mini mill uses a R8 tapper. The R8 tapper is used on more heavy duty work, the MT3 will work for the Grizzly but try LittleMachineShop.com

They are basically the same. Little Machine shop has a chart that compares brands, http://littlemachineshop.com/info/minimill_compare.php

I've seen a few reviews where it isn't 100% compatible with either festool or makita. Is it 100% compatible with Grizzly is a question, too.

The 5007F is heavier than whats stated in the description. It's a great saw and I like it. Very powerful and cuts & rips with ease. If I had to buy again I personally would go with the magnesium base. 1. Description states that it comes with rip fence and it does not. 2. The weight is probably the same as magnesium model. 3. You get the case. Doesn't seem like a big feature but it is. I Don't believe you can go wrong with either saw. If weight is a factor I would look into the Dewalt lightweight models. Because this saw is not lightweight!

Best thing is to call Makita. My guess is the smaller diameter blade and slower RPM is better for metal. The smaller blade reduces the surface speed of the tooth.

I don't really know the difference. I bought the $150 model because it was cheaper than Harbor Freight and was better quality. I have only hung three sheets with it but it works great

My saw says Grizzly so i would have to belive it is Grizzly. This is a great saw as long as you have a good blade on it.

Harbor Freight has a cheaper version for about $30-$40 less but, after looking at it at the store and checking out some online reviews, I went with the Kreg.

The biggest difference is the bevel of the saw will go to 55° Instead of just 45'. It has a little smaller skid plate because the corner is mitered off.

The screw guns are more compact and better ballanced. The recipricating saw is about the same. I also noticed longer battery life. I am very pleased, as a contractor, I would definetly recomend to anyone!

The Makita B03710 is a i/3 sheet sander. I have never used a Porter Cable sander therefore I cannot compare the two. Hope this helps.

The answer to the horse power of the Grizzly model G0715P Polar Bear series is 2 HP. It is a 10 inch saw with all the power you need. The saw is well built and very accurate and to say the least I really like this saw a lot. Great buy.

Tia, this one is for the Original which is made of a solid high-quality stainless steel tubing, with only a small acrylic viewing window the others seen on Amazon are copies of our mills, they are made with plastic tubing and a metal sleeve to cover the inner cylinder, there is a big difference in quality, that is why the price for our Originals is more. By investing in Grind Gourmet Originals you are getting a high quality mill while supporting a US based business, most of the seller of the copy are direct from China. Knowing what you are investing in help, thanks for your question Tia!

As far as I know Grizzly only sells the Morse Taper spindle version. Look at Little Machine Shop &lt;littlemachineshop.com&gt; for many variants including RB, steel gears, inch feed screws, solid column etc. Saying that, I am very satisfied with my Grizzly except I added an extra length of down feed rack to give more clearance under the spindle. I had to do some fitting to get the rack teeth in proper alignment. Be aware, the column tilt lock nut needs to be very tight to keep the column vertical!

Sorry, but I've no idea. It works with the Harbour Freight and Grizzly rotary tools.

well the 180 stihl is a bit small i use a 73cc husquavarna it cutts well but i dont want to get into production speed because its not realy for cutting a lot of board feet more for personal wood working but i also have a granberg mini mill for beams and i just use a husky 55 rancher 54cc equivalent to a stilh farm boss and with a RIPPING chain works fine a 32cc saw i dont think you are going to have the tork to power through but you want to let the saw do the work so your cuts are nice and true ripping chain wise i am not sure they have one in a .325 size chain but dont quote me grandbergs web site could tell you they sell ripping chain if you do get the 777 its very simple to assemble keep all the nuts loose till you get it all squared up and lock them all down tite. one more thing when cutting soft woods cedar and pine cutting speeds are much faster in like 3 hrs i cut 12-14 2ftwide by 9 long cedar logs into 1.25in thick boards just keep your teeth sharp and no problem

If you are sanding some thin veneer, then the variable speed allows a slow start for light sanding without going thru the veneer. Otherwise, there is no difference in my opinion.

I am very pleased with the sander. I can not comment on the upgrade since I am not familiar with it. The B03710 sands much faster and has less vibration than the one I had before. And I like that it uses 1/3 sheet of paper.I would recommend it. NH
