Now its on backorder till october! Man I was so stoked to finally have my own Mill by the end of the week then I got the dreded e-mail. I guess I wasn't the only one who thought it was a good deal for the garage machinist. Does anybody know of a comperable machine in price and features? IE square/dovetail column power feed descent size table weighs 1klbs or less with stand and cost under $2k. I looked at the IH but you just don't get the same bang for your buck. I'm sure its a more quality machine but I'm not running a production line. Anyways sorry for the long wind. Can't wait to get started.

Hi anderpipe. Welcome to the Zone!

Don't cancel your order. Grizzly is known to give WORST CASE backorder estimates. You may Yet get your mill delivered in just a few weeks.

If you have your heart set on that machine, hang in there. If you cancel and re-order later you will most likely face a 25-30% price increase on any Chinese made mill in the next 6 months.

I sure hope your right, I was pretty bumed. I told him to keep the order and he said that they would keep it but I could change it at any time so I'm happy with that. Thanks

I have my heart set on getting A machine this one just seems to be best suited and priced for what I want. Your probably right on the increase coming up. I'm glad I can afford one now cause I might not in a while with the way things are going around the world.

I was considering the G0484 today, until I saw the IH Mill. Man, for the small extra cost, you can have a mill with much greater capacity, American made, and available almost immediately.

Electronics proudly made in USA
Mill Made in China

[OffshoreRacer]

You're right about the mill itself being made in China. It sounds like a pretty high quality piece from what I have heard.

As you say, the CNC conversion is fully American made.

Might be quality but for 5 3/4" more spindle hight and a little bigger table with no power feed and no stand and $350 for shipping its still almost $1000 more. and I want all the bang for my buck.

[Crevice Reamer]

Hi Jonnie. Glad to have you finally posting! That's a good point, but all caps are hard to read and generally interpreted as shouting. I'm sure that you don't intend that, but please don't shout.

CR.

I been in the same boat several times with Grizzly, but have been surprised
several times with emails saying things like your mill shipped yesterday, and should be at your local dock on Wed. Talk about butterflies......wuh who !....
smile it's an adventure......Oh, and I'm happy to say I stuck with my orders and have not goofed up and purchased anything similar. With the dreaded
regrets. Good luck.

[VooDooMan]

Well grizzly informed me after oohh the 545th phone call that they shipment is due nov 21st, which means they brought it back a full 5 days ahead of schedule.

This is good news, I will grba it and post pictures when it arrives!

Cya guys

I called Grizzly today seeing if the GO484 was lost at sea. They told me Jan 7. They also told me I should get on the back order list to help the possibility of getting one.

[Adamj12b]

Anything new?

Going thru the same dilema right now - ordered a Grizzly G0484, but it's back ordered - they SAY it will ship on 10/21 (today is the 6th). I need it for a project that is going on now. My plan is to add DRO and CNC at a later date - spread the cost out over a few years. I'm assuming the G0484 will require a bit of TLC to get working properly for either DRO or CNC.
