Re: Damaged compound
UPDATE: A trip to the bolt store and 79 cents later I have a 5mm longer bolt. It has 6 turns before it snugs down. Much better than before. The original tool post stud makes 8 turns to hit the bottom

Re: My new Grizzly Lathe damaged in shipping, what to do and look for?

Grizzly wants me to check for other damage and claims it should be ok as far as still being true. they want to send parts to fix the damaged stuff, but I was thinking either a discount if the rest is

Contact the shipping company at once and make a claim against their insurance. Sounds like the whole machine should be replaced for you. If you delay or throw away packaging material, your claim will

Re: Damaged compound
Andrew, I went down to the shop and looked at mine. The bolt threads in almost 9 threads, so if you still have 4-5 threads left, that might do it. Also a stud and nut would take some of the guess work
