I purchased this model rather than one of the competitors specifically because it offered the feature of tilting the sanding surface to horizontal. But when the time came to use this valuable feature I was surprised to find that it wouldn't tilt completely flat to horizontal, (a few degrees shy) and worse it couldn't be used in conjunction with the built in table. The upright framework becomes an obstruction to the work-piece, and the tail of the tilt pivot bracket prevents the table from being lowered to the appropriate level.Furthermore, the work stop leaves 2.5" or about 10% of the platen surface unusable.
Technical service at Grizzly claims that the belt was not intended to be used in conjunction with the table while in the horizontal position. Too bad I say, it could have made a mediocre product great. Gary.
