I would assume you are talking aluminum, but still...
...must have been a slow feed rate (<8 ipm or you were going to stall your motor).

So.... here is an update if anyone is interested.
I pulled the top off of the head and found that, as Toolman mentioned, a bearing was not fully seated, which was causing a mis-alignment on the high/low gearshaft. One of the bearing seats molded into the bottom of the main head casting was cracked off, allowing the bearing to easily slip in or out. There were no chips/chunks in the gearbox, so my guess is that it was built with that defect.
I was on the phone a few times with Grizzly, and the machine is still under warranty, and they are looking into sending me a new head, or machine.
I'll post another update soon.

Unfortunately I didn't take any pics. However, if Grizzly will not replace the broken part/head I will have to figure out a way to repair it myself. I will at that time post some pics and also a few pics of my repair process.Would love too see some pics of the gear box w/defect?
