Is there much difference between the Grizzly 14" G0555 and the G0555X. I know the X stands for the "Extreme" edition...but is it worth the extra money? the regular 14" will also take a riser. I'm just trying to find what would be right for me without spending more than I need to for more machine than I will need.

Tom it depends on how big you want to cut. The neighbor has the G0555 and I have the X model. I can tell you the extra 1/2 hp does make a difference especially when cutting blanks that are over 6" thick. When he needs to cut a 8" or 10" thick blank for coring he comes and uses mine. Of course a good blade makes a big difference to.
