Have your ever considered that not everyone is a production shop and not everyone has room for stationary CNC equipment? Just sayin

Just a quick follow up to an old thread.

The Origin arrived a few days ago and it was worth the wait. Haven't had a lot of time with it yet but if you have a chance to get hands on one to test...

Sean, thank you for the info.

Hi Sean,

How much runout did you consider to be excessive and how far was the quill extended when the reading was taken? This being my first big boy drill press, I'm hoping to hold this one to a...

Thanks for the nudge guys :). The order has been placed and is scheduled to be delivered in a couple weeks.

@Larry, I'll definitely be verifying/upgrading the firmware as soon as it's up and...

Hi Robert,
On NOVA's web site it says "Offer is open to all US residents, from Oct 1st through Dec 31 2017. Only while supplies last."

Thanks Larry!

Not trying to turn this into a question and answer thread but one thing I've read is that the alarm is waaaay too soft, basically inaudible with the drill press running/cutting not...

Dennis,
Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it. You've moved me a bit closer to the edge but I still have a couple weeks to drive my wife and self crazy :). The digital depth stop is one of...

Hey all. I know at least a couple folks here have this drill press so now that it's been out for a while how happy are you with it and would you buy it again?

I'm thinking of picking one up while...

Just got the email! However, the page to enter the shipping address will not save it. Kinda funny but here's to hoping it's just a temporary glitch. :eek:

Thanks everyone for the responses. Ken nailed the first one and I believe Perry nailed the second. Perry's links appears to be exactly what this thing is. I'm quite sure I would have never guessed...

Very interesting. Thanks Ken.

I know there were a few here who ordered early so is anyone out there getting anxious to take delivery? I haven't received the email yet but I'm hoping it shows up soon.

Have had a pile of stuff sitting in a box in a corner of the shop for a couple years now and these items have me perplexed. Google image search turned up nothing useful so I figure with the wealth...

All those that use a dehumidifier in their shop or home, you may want to check to see if it is part of a major recall of many portable dehumidifiers. I purchased mine in July of 2012 and it is...

Yeah, I too was hoping to find or receive a 10% coupon (Wood Mag subscriber here) but never did.

I asked the CS guy at Grizzly about the differences between the X and XW and he said the only...

For what it's worth I ordered a G0490X a few weeks ago knowing it was out of stock, both the website and Grizzly CS said so. I ordered anyway to get on the waiting list expecting to wait a couple...

Yes I have. Some very interesting reading there that should scare just about anyone. Very serious stuff, that of which I have recently had to deal with.

I use it on the three mentioned (Windows 10, Linux - LinuxMint specifically which is a Debian -> Ubuntu fork, and Android) and it works well on all three. Peruse this page for more if interested:...

Been using KeePass for many years now. Open source and works on Windows, Linux and Android. Not sure about iOS since I'm not in that system.

Agree Andrew but I've never enjoyed setting jointer knives. Maybe it was just my technique but I'll take the segmented head either way.


I removed one of the factory installed 0.008 shims and...

Talked to a Grizzly tech yesterday and he confirmed that shimming the cutter head would be an acceptable option. So onward we go.

After a closer inspection of the pulley side of the head there...

Hi Glenn,
I understand that but the problem is a couple of the cams are maxed out on the adjustment. I am talking about shimming the cutter head, not the beds.

Check out the pic in the original...

I wrote the original post up this morning from work and going from memory on the exact numbers. After going to the shop and checking what I had written down, sure enough the numbers were wrong. The...

A couple weekends ago I took delivery on a Grizzly G0490X parallelogram jointer and spent that and this past weekend setting it up and checking the tables. Everything arrived in good condition...
