G0704 - Drill/Mill with Stand
1 $950.00


I know i said i was going to get an X2, i guess im an impulse buyer

Anyone know the back order status???

[Babucha]

Order mine last Thursday and it arrived today. Depends on where you live I guess, at least that’s what they told me on the phone. Washington warehouse had one, Missouri did not, but because I live in NM Washington was my supplier?? I'd call and ask them.

Oh by the way…when I got it today the stand was dented in. Guess that cardboard box (and single layer of bubble wrap) it’s shipped in wasn’t enough protection. And the mill had broken through the pallet it was bolted to. The mill looks OK except for the missing quill feed lever (the other 2 were loose). Must have vibrated loose and fallen out through the hole the mill punched in the bottom of the crate. I called Grizzly and have started on the resolution to these issues and so far they have been very supportive. The shipping crate was of the same quality my G0602 was shipped in, and arrived in about the same number of pieces.

Good luck...

When we unloaded mine I thought the cabinet was done for. The box was punched in and torn up. Turns out it was just because of the shape of the cabinet - not really a good idea to send it freight in just a cardboard box like that - especially since it isn't a normal shape. It was in OK shape though - couple small dents but no big deal.

The condition of the mill and it's crate was perfect though.

received my g0704 last month and the stand was damaged and the 2 they sent after were also damaged and still waiting for one being they were out of stock. The motor burnt out after the second time i used it and they did replace that in about a week and a half. they're service is good, but didn't need all the trouble.

[mrcodewiz]

Hmm... that's interesting about the motor. How many hours do you think you have on it? I haven't used mine other than to break it in but I did notice the motor was a bit rattley.

[buckwheat40]

I didn't have more than an hour on it originally, but the replacement motor has been working ok. I've been working it pretty good. I had the original repaired so i have a spare. The armature went bad. The motor does run hot for sure. The motor isn't the quietest thing in the world, but i think the gears are making most of the noise. Hope to start converting soon so i will go to a belt drive then.

got my conformation email today....looks like their next shipment is september 10th I called last week and they said they were getting the order this week...I guess there were a ton back ordered...I really didnt want to wait that long, i called Grizzly CS and they said nothing they could do

[Babucha]

I just called them and they are still available out of the Washington warehouse?? Must be they’d rather have you wait then ship one that far. As bad as my crate was banged up it might not have made it any further down my street, let alone to your side of the Mississippi!

Hope your wait isn’t too long...

[cornbinder23]

I live right next door to them in WA too bad I already bought an SX3 8 months ago
If anyone absolutely needs theirs now I might be able to help

wtf...

i had them check all the warehouses and they said none are available... seems like it would be an easy fix...just have one more diverted to the washimgton ware house when the boat comes and send me mine now?!? there must be more than one call center for grizzly customer service...you mind telling me which number you called?

[mwood3]

I sent Grizzly CS an email asking them specificly about the WA warehouse... I hope i get a straight forward answer and not some watered down excuse as to why i will have to wait for more machines from China(I assume thats where they come from) when there are some already here in the states...
