runs sooo quite, nice, hahahaha

I just read from an Independent repairer that these lathes have been shipped with a defective controller board from the factory. So back to the drawing board for me!!!

I bought a 8 x 16 from Amazon best equipment. Had it for a week or two with very little use and smoke rolled out from the back and stoped working. I contacted the company and there trying to give me the runaround. They advertised it as a maintenance fee brushless motor and I discovered it's not. Amazon should step up to the plate with these companies. 1.300 dollars for something that works for a short period of time just doesn't cut it.

I have to hold my green button down to make my lath run. What a pain that is. My 3 jaw chuck is shit also. Im looking into a 6 jaw chuck to see if I can get one and make it bolt up it the problems I think I'm going to run into

Several parts on my control board were no good. A guy out east fixes these but he could not fix this one. Too screwed up. I asked the distributor for a replacement and was given a lot of excuses as to why it would take so long to get me one. I requested to start the return process and the offered a credit. I received $125 credit and used it to purchase a black box controller. Hooked directly to the motor and it works great. Looks used now but I wanted to save money rather than going through Grizzly. This kind of trouble is a good reason to buy from Grizzly and spend the extra money. I have included a link to the controller I purchased. www.ebay.com/itm/120-VAC-To-DC-Motor-Speed-Controller-For-Any-90-130-VDC-PM-DC-Motor-Up-To-4-HP-/303159304376
