Topic tags/keywords: lathe turning I was turning a bowl yesterday and noticed I had to keep moving my tool rest up in order to stay on center. I also was getting more vibration than usual. Upon closer inspection I notice the support arm for my tool rest was fractured. I went ahead and finished turning the bowl. Boy was that a challenge! I called Grizzly’s customer service today and explained the problem. After providing them with the order number and serial number, they apologized and are shipping a new one out, free of charge. I should receive it in a couple of days. Great customer service. I hope the replacement part will be as hassle free and will not have the same problem. -- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one. |

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. :-) -- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood" |

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. -- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one. |

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…... -- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood" |

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. -- "Too much or too little shames it all" - Old Swedish Proverb |
