Good job troubleshooting the electrical issue- Looks like the lathe survived the hard knocks pretty well
They sure are nice looking when they are new

Thanks for your response. I'm a woodworker and have dealt with a lot of equipment arriving with damaged crates over the years. Grizzly is the worst I've ever experienced... most of the tools I've purchased from them were missing most of the crating by the time it arrived. But, miraculously, the equipment survived. Like you said... you get what you pay for.Hi and welcome to the forum.
I certainly can't speak for the OP but damaged crates are not uncommon with heavy machines as noted in this thread. PM is a well regarded sponsor of this forum and I'm certain they will be happy to answer any questions about freight damage you might have. What I've observed from reading posts here is although everything isn't always perfect with their products they really go the distance in making things right with their customers.
It's pretty common for minor damage on large machines to be dealt with by shipping replacement parts rather than returning entire units. And, although it can be frustrating, often the process leads to a better understanding and working knowledge for the hobby machinist. Production shops will often buy from suppliers that install and calibrate the machines in place but costs are much higher, like anything else it's a trade-off between what would be ideal and what you can afford.
Cheers,
John
That's good to hear. Most reputable companies would say the same. I'm basically trying to decide between two PM models at this time. Excited to be here... thanks for the responses!PM says if your shipment is damaged to refuse the shipment.
