When all is said and done, more is said than done.
Well I emailed the CSRs again today, in regards to sx3
And they now said 4-6 weeks but today the cannot give me a more specfic time until an order is placed, what changed since last week friday?

Just received my Grizzly G0619/ (Super X3). I love it. The manual is great, and has an outstanding electrical diagram, t-shooting, and supurb photos. I looked online at the Grizzly website, the manual is even in color with respect to the electrical. These guys give great support. While heavy as a beast to get up ontop of my cinderblock pedistal, it was immaculate right out of the crate! Let me know if you have any questions.
Chris,
The shipping crate is ~ 31" x 31" x 37" tall. There are rails on the bottom that hold the crate about 2.5" off of the ground. I suspect a regular fork lift could get under it assuming the spacing between the rails is appropriate. If not, it could be tipped and then slid onto the forks.

Excellent thank you sir! Have fun let us know what you think when you get it running. Once you do I am wondering about one more thing, it would be if you have ever heard what a VFD sounds like while running a three phase motor. I am starting to think that Sieg actually put in a VFD instead of BLDC judging by the shots of compenets and wiring. I don't know a ton about BLDC but I do know alot about VFD's and this appears outwardly as that instead. If not don't worry about it.Originally Posted by MrMark06

Can't say I have ever heard a VFD running a three phase motor, but the wiring diagram looks consistent with a brushless motor having sensors. There appears to be three main windings, three sensor lines plus power and common for the sensor circuits.
Once I have it running I may be able to get some scope pictures of the output of the control board.

I doubt very much that they included a VFD. It's nice to see the SX3's available now. I remember when there was the SX3 group buy initiative and all. Anybody got plans for CNCing theirs?
And its also consistent with a 3 phase vector motor(they also use encoders), with these drives being fairly cheap from decent japanese and tawinese source I can imagine what China could do. I geuss the only real way to know is take apart the motor otherwise the U,V,W are consistent with 3 phase metric wiring. I cannot comment of BLDC if someone knows for sure please let me know thats what they use also. I ran acros a post were someone states that they bump the voltage up to 230 form 115. I do know that BLDC can preform at near 0 RPM, Vector and regular VFD's don't hence the 100 rpm min speed. My thoughts at least no proof for now.

I got my Grizzly G0619! I am glad I waited. If you are set on the bench tops, wait and don't buy anything else!
Research paid off and I got in on the first order. My machine was superb right out of the crate, but even better, The manual is excellent. I am big on electrical, and the diagram with detailed photos of all electrical including circuit boards surprised me. So many companies just shove a cheap scanned copy of plans and superficial sales documentation in the box for customer support. That needs to change. By going the extra mile with their documentation, I think that Grizzly is in for the long haul. This manual even links to a color electrical diagram and photos at the big Griz at: http://images.grizzly.com/grizzlycom...ls/g0619_m.pdf
I am a skeptic in my field, and I tested the diagram, and it is nails-ON with the mill/drill. The rest of the manual answered all of my questions well.
VALUE: Excellent product. This machine was a great surprise for me and my needs. With the R8 spindle, better HP smooth cogged belt drive, wayed column for no registration loss, smooth X, Y, Z control, it exceeds my project needs for just over $1300 bucks. I can’t wait to get the power feed, left-hand drill bits, and a 2” face mill.
However, rent an engine hoist to get it up on your bench.
Rent a cherry picker with nylon straps--NOT CHAINS. This critter was heavy!!!
