Re: GRIZZLY TOOLS

My pld team has the next larger lathe the G0752 that was purchased back in 2007 I believe. Two years ago the rack and drive gear to manually move the carriage wore out in the relevant range. Looked up the parts online, ordered them and had them in a couple of days.

So I can't knock their service but I'd say that in our case they had the parts in stock in their warehouse.

As others have mentioned tools used by students get treated pretty roughly and ours certainly was. So I put a lot of the blame for the failure on that and wouldn't rule out another Grizzly tool because of that.
