Hi Paul,
I bought the same saw about 6 weeks ago. I like it a lot. A few comments:
1) It will easily function in vertical mode if you unscrew the pin that
attached the saw to the downfeed piston.
2) Get a bimetal blade as soon as you can; the stock blade is pretty poor.
Take your time and go through the saw to make everything square. I ended up
enlarging one of the mounting holes for the jaw on the vise, as the vise
wasn't closing square. There are many small adjustments you can make, so
just take your time and use a good square or dial indicator.
Overall, I think it's a pretty good saw and am very happy to finally have a
metal cutting band saw in my garage.

Hello Gang, I am new to this forum. I just purchased a Grizzly G9742 4" x 6"
Metal-Cutting Bandsaw with Swivel Head. Just got it setup and have not used
it yet. I was wondering if any of you folks had any suggestions for me
before I power this thing up and start using it. Thanks.
