Recently went to Grizzly/South Bend website looking to purchase some parts for the SB1001 lathe and found on their list of parts many showed "This part is no longer available". Does anyone know what's going on with the SB1001 lathe? Could it have been discontunied and as parts run out thats the end of it. The lathe is listed in the new catalog, at a sale price of $1965.

edn's post 210 - edn, I'd be interested In what you find when you go about replacing your spindle. You explained you have new Timkens (ISO class p5). I'd be interested to know the part number. Thanks.

According to Papa Grizzly the lathe will be discontinued, according to tech support, not discontinued.
That's one hell of a list of not available parts, makes me think about returning it and get a 10K.
This can't be right because there's the same long list on no longer available parts for the 10K?

Looking for Ser #'s, mfg dates, and where it shipped from and if any grease in bearings or other spindle issues to update my list.
