Machine arrived about 3 weeks sooner than expected, meaning it was ordered on a Saturday from WA and it arrived the following Saturday in western CO. Had to rent a skid-steer to unload it and set in my garage/shop. Had to wait 2 weeks for the electrician to get me power to the shop (he ran a few extra power outlets for lathes, drills, etc.) busy guy but cut me a great deal on sub-panel and installation. Powered it up for a quick listen and function check then began quill run-in procedure. Stepped it up from low-low speed to high-high speed, 5 minutes forward and 5 minutes reverse in each speed. Add that up and ~80 minutes later I was ready for set up. Motor and head assembly warmed up some but nothing out of the norm for running a motor over an hour. I own a combo-machine and working with it's limitations is a tricky balance between "that's pretty dang good" and "I think that'll work." The 0796 is surprisingly quiet and obviously much more rigid than a combo-machine. Initial thoughts, impressions and the little tinkering I've done are very encouraging. I don't think I could expect any different from a "big name" machine. If this machine functions like it currently does for the next couple years it will surely pay for itself, and I foresee it most likely outlasting me. Eventually a slotting/shaping attachment and horizontal milling attachment will be added. As is this machine is more than adequate for my current gun shop needs.

My mill is approx a year old with Zero issues, Ridgid, accurate, I don't work it real hard, but I'm certainly not afraid to. Perfect fit for my retirement workshop (DAVE CAVE !!!)

I needed a single phase mill and this fit the bill.. Were cutting product and going forward. Grizzly is the best

First machine damaged in shipment so Grizzly shipped replacement. Great customer service. Machine performs as expected, precise, runs smoothly. Anyone looking for a new machine of this capability should seriously consider this machine.
