The 7/8" wrench "just" fits behind the arbor flange, maybe 2/3 - 3/4 of the way onto the shaft. Plenty of grip to loosen the arbor nut. The wrenches have a nice chrome finished too. This is the set: Over the last several years I have gone through 3 of the Grizzly stamped steel open-end wrenches for the G1023RL tablesaw.
I narrowed it down to either the Grizzly G0771z 10” hybrid (my current choice) or Shop Fox W1837 10” open cabinet. Both meet my size limitations. Looking for opinions. Specifically: - regrets with your table saw selection. - ease of making jigs/sleds with their T-slot (appears to be inverted compared to Craftsman)
My first table saw was a jobsite saw, a Bosch REAXX. (Nearly identical to the Bosch 4100 type.) I replaced it with a SawStop cabinet saw. The difference was instantly apparent. For me, the only reason to go back to a jobsite table saw would be shop space limitations. The DeWalt 7491RS and Grizzly G0771Z are both table saws.
The Grizzly name plate is about the extent Grizzly was involved with this saw back in 1986. It's in decent shape, and has grated cast wings, but $400 is more than it cost new. $400 should buy a pretty darn nice used table saw...I don't think this is the one. The saws below all basically have the same guts, and came from the same factory.
The Powermatic and Steel City both have riving knives and the router extension table. However, the PM is about $2800 with shipping, and the SC is about $1400 and lighter duty than the Grizzly. So I forewent the riving knife and hope to train myself to use the blade guard (or at least the splitter part). Got my fingers crossed.
The breaker is there to keep the wiring from overheating and catching fire. Swap it with a 20-3 amp breaker, with the appropriate wire gauge and outlet. A 20 amp breaker and 12/2 should be fine for a saw that size. If you keep the 50A breakers you need 6 gauge wire.
The G1022 was a full size cast iron contractor saw (27" deep) with an outboard belt drive induction motor (compared to direct drive universal motor on your B&D), so it'll run quietly with good torque, plus many aftermarket accessories and bolts will fit it....wings, fence, miter gauge, etc., which means you can upgrade as needed/wanted. The "Z ...

The 1022SM was a pretty basic stripped down contractor saw with a cheap fence and steel wings, but they also had a G1022ProZ that had a Shop Fox Classic fence and cast iron wings.
3 posts · Joined 2012. #1 · Nov 5, 2012. Folks- I have a Grizzly G1022Z table saw which has lost bottom teeth on the "arbor bracket". Effect is when lower blade to clear table surface, will not raise back up. Teeth are casted into bracket and mesh with a worm pinion that turns by the blade height crankwheel. Last few teeth on the arbor ...
So my saw is actually a tradesman model# 1987-b-10m and my arbor was worn out and all the parts for this saw is discontinued . Found the arbor from the Grizzly g1022 was exactly the same length and luckily the bearings press in the same spot as my old arbor.
