It has white paint and is $25 more than the G1029. I have had a G1029 for about a year and it works just fine.
Watch where you buy the Shop Fox from. I bought their mortising machine and when I sent in several Email messages asking for information regarding a problem I got NO reply. I then contacted the distributor and complained and asked them if they could answer my question, NO reply. Grizzly also sells the equipment and perhaps they are better with the help. At woodworking show in Atlanta I brought up the problem with an individual selling the same machine for TWC and he suggested I try Grizzly for an answer. Equipment looks first rate but worry about warranty. I purchased machine from right-tool.

thanks Don, I was looking at that one and the Jet 1200. local woodworking supply has both. Grand Rapids MI
A nearby cabinet shop I do some work for has three of them and they have been trouble free. They have been running all day every day for four years.
I have had a Grizzly 1029 for 10 years and it is still working fine. Granted not an everyday user until the past year but it sure does a good job of sucking up the dust.
