   There's a comparison/review of 14" bandsaws under the "Tool Guide" tab on this site that includes that bandsaw.  However, it's a pdf file that you might not be able to look at unless you're a paid subscriber to this site.  Are you a paid subscriber?  If not, let me know and I can email you some info.

   Sent you an email and copied myself to see what it looked like.  For some reason it says that my FWW handle is "CHARLIE4443".  Don't know why.  At any rate, take a look.charlie -- "Count your blessings....it could always be worse!"

   Ohiobob - haven't heard back from you on the email I sent you.  You still out there somewhere?  I've got a review of the bandsaw you're interested in I can send as a file attachment but I need to know your email address to send it to.

   I just took delivery of the 14" G0457 and I am head over heels about it. Fit and finish were good and this saw has plenty of power. It comes with the resaw fence which is great. I wired it for 110v and had no problem slicing thru  7" of walnut, the thickest i had. One word of advice, if you order from Grizzly they charge extra for lift gate service. Hope this helps!

   Of course, the G0457 is a completely different design from the G0555X you're asking about.  If you don't get any feedback from 555X owners here, trip on over to WWA <click> and do a search for Grizzly G0555 (be sure and check "search for all terms").  You'll find a number of threads where users discuss the basic 0555 saw, and will probably find a few references to the X-version. 

   You might want to clue us'n KnotsHeads about what type of cutting you expect to do with said saw.
