Benchtop table saw
The Amazon pick is a jobsite saw with a folding rolling stand you can stow against a wall; the Grizzly saw is a heavier variable-speed benchtop that stays on its bench.

"Operator room" keeps 30 in clear around the machine, and "stored" drops that zone, for a machine you roll out only when the car is gone. Both leave a 24 in apron in front of the overhead door and a 30 in walk-around beside any parked sedan. In a 12 x 20 ft garage with a car inside, this machine has to be stored elsewhere.
Stock clearance
This is a stock-fed machine. For 8 ft boards it needs about 15 ft of clear line; the 12 x 20 bay offers 20 ft with nothing else in it and 22 ft in a 22 x 22. Where the bay is short, the answer is an outfeed support that folds away or a mobile base that rolls the machine to the open middle.
Electrical and moving it
- Circuit: 15 A at 120V on the listing: a 20 A breaker and 12 AWG copper covers the 125 percent rule. On NEC Table 430.248 amps the same 2 HP motor comes to 30 A and 10 AWG on a 30 ft run. Have a licensed electrician confirm.
- Moving it: at 72 lb (shipping weight) a mobile base rated 100 lb or more is the minimum, for example the WEN Mobile Base.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Grizzly G0869 fit in a one-car garage?
Yes, in a 12 x 20 ft one-car garage with no vehicle it fits with its operator zone clear and uses 3 percent of the floor. With a sedan parked inside it does not fit at all.
What circuit does the Grizzly G0869 need?
It draws 15 A at 120V (listing), so a 20 A breaker with 12 AWG copper covers the 125 percent rule. On NEC table amps for 2 HP the circuit comes out to a 30 A breaker and 10 AWG copper over a 30 ft run. A licensed electrician confirms the circuit before you wire.
