Well the tool rest may have failed but the bowl looks great! I’m glad to hear they stand behind their product…

I’m glad Grizzly is shipping a new part.

Based on the quality of your turnings, I was ready to pitch in and take up collection if that was necessary to get you up and running again. :-)

I’ve had two issues with Grizzly tools. Each one was resolved quickly and with no hassle.

what a bowl with a broken lathe!!!!! Charlie—-I would have donated…as I concur with your sentiment!

Thanks Guys! It’s not too late to take up a collection. I would really like a Stubby or Powermatic lathe. I would trade bowls for donations.

UPS delivered the new part today! So I’m back in business again. I’m still up for donations though if Charlie wants to organize it.

We met the president of Grizzly two years ago at the IWF.
A very outgoing guy and he spoke English as well as I.
Customer satisfaction was one of the goals.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Glad to hear your back turning again!

Sorry, you blew it when you admitted Grizzly was fixing you up for free.

Now on the other hand, if you guys want to see how much nicer my boxes could be if I owned that new table saw I’ve had my eye on…...

I have a Grizzly Lathe, band saw and some of their air nailers and really couldn’t be happier. The fit and finish is not always perfect but for the price they are definitely decent quality especially for a hobbiest shop. I did have a problem with the threads on my lathes tail stock lock I called their Customer Service and they had a replacement out to me that same week no questions asked. I too would love to own a Stubby or a big OneWay but they just arn’t in the budget at the moment. Nice bowl by the way.
