    Default New Grizzly Mill

    I am shopping for a mill for my garage. I have a Smithy XL1220 and have seriously outgrown its capabilities. I am just about to pull the trigger on this one: http://grizzly.com/products/9-x-48-H...al-Mill/G0667X
    Does anyone have any experience or an opinion on this machine? I would love to hear anything be it good,bad or in general.

    Saw this Jet mill (actual one listed) on the dealer's showroom floor last week.

    Other than a light stain on the table, it looked pretty nice with DRO for less money.

    And for the same money as the Grizzly, I would consider a new Sharp LMV.

    Talk over your needs and get a quote on a mill from the guy that runs:

    he's a good guy that will give you support both before and after the sale.

    Be cautious about Grizzly I purchased a 18-60 Grizzly lathe and come to find out they have phased it out and no longer support ANY parts for it !!! The machine its self it good quailty Iam just a little peeved at no support. I have a 10-54 Birmingham mill and have had no issues with it or support. Good luck .
