I just checked my Grizzly order and it showed up as cancelled. I shot them an email and haven't heard back yet. Anyone else have this issue?

G0759 Delivery Not Expected Until October 6th
- Thread starter Fairbanks
- Start date
Checked on my G0759 order today which was placed on June 26th, not cancelled but I got a response that said it will now not be at the Grizzly warehouse until December 19th - at least it will make it for Christmas (I hope).

IIRC, wasn't Griz promising these in August? I wonder what the holdup is. I am certain that Griz will sell every one that comes in, whenever that happens, but Matt at PM is gonna run out of machines before that.
Wonder if there's a market for a slightly used PM25 w/DRO?

Indeed we can! DRO Pros was on the doorstep when I got home this afternoon. Tracking shows PM25 is 3 days out.
Going to start my own PM25MV thread and aggregate all of the pieces of my Grizzly to PM story for those who might be following.
Cheers!

Whoa! They are certainly having problems with those G0759s. For me, each new delay created more uncertainty about a reliable delivery date and with that, the more I looked at the PM25, the more certain I became that it's a better machine anyhow - better motor, better electronics, 3 year warranty. My PM25 will be here Thursday - shipped 3 days after I ordered it and 6 days after it was shipped. I'm happy I got off the Grizzly roller coaster when I did.
Keep us posted - I'm curious what Grizzly has to say.

Sorry to hear about your delay. I was way to :impatient: to wait 3+ months for a Griz. If you want a PM25 call Matt quickly as he told me he will be in a similar situation when when his stock has run out. My Mill is scheduled to be here on Thursday, and my DRO will be tomorrow, same time frame as John. I plan to start a thread as well to share my experiences.

I'm gonna call them as soon as they open, if they aren't 100% accommodating I'll likely be getting in touch with Matt. Hopefully he has one left. I really don't have room in the budget for the more expensive machine but I also have way too much invested in tooling and bar stock to let it go to waste :/

Sory to here that. The G0704 is the same mill with out dro. You can get a dro on ebay for 495 shipped. The pm does sound like a better motor and controller but I haven't had any problems with the motor on my 704. Good luck what ever you do.

I dont have an opinion one way or th other as to which machines are better as I would need to see them tore down to view bearings and all that. I do know the pm is on par and may very well be a better machine. So if you can get a pm now, brother get it. Thats one up side to used machines, they are there now to be used. Waiting is bad but I would lose my mind if it just kept getting longer. They would have to make it worth my while to wait if I can have a comparable machine now from another vendor.

Just talked to Grizzly, they created a new order number so that my stuff would ship from Pennsylvania. The good news is she said they would be in next week (10/16), of course given their track record I won't hold my breath. I still have a little patience left so I guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed. In the meantime I do have a new toy to put together
