Actually this is a violation of truth in advertising laws...sounds funny right, but there a definitely limits to what you can say and or promise in advertising...if they keep this up or do so as a matter of repeated business practices an attorney general will make an example of them. Especially if there are complaints.

Matt....We are not a court here and we don't have enough information to determine IF there was a violation....if there was intent.

With that.....I'm going to lock this thread. I will start a thread in the Moderators Forum and invite any Moderator or Administrator to unlock this thread or move it as they deem necessary and appropriate.
Here's Keith's Dec. 20, 2010 message concerning Rants:

Before You Rant Read This December 20th, 2010
"It is the intent of SMC to permit the airing of concerns regarding the suitability of a particular product, or the quality or sufficiency of customer service provided by a vendor in any particular instance provided there is not a breach of contract component involved.
However, these threads often deteriorate into a "piling on" and develop a very negative tone. That doesn't assist other viewers in assessing the overall advisability of whether to buy this particular product, nor to assess the overall customer service provided by that manufacturer/vendor.
In order to be fair to the many vendors that provide woodworking products, the following policies will be in force:
The original poster must have first contacted the manufacturer/vendor and have attempted a solution PRIOR to posting the thread.
The original poster should provide factual details of the problem, and details of efforts that have been made with the manufacturer/vendor to rectify the problem.
Subsequent posts must be limited to suggestions to the original poster to assist in rectifying the problem - not to pile on because you had similar problems.
SMC is a woodworking forum. The intended purpose is to provide a community in which useful information may be shared among the members. Threads that do not achieve that purpose will be locked, or removed if necessary." SawMill Creek is not a Court of Law and we are not in a position to judge a breach of contract case here, therefore SawMill Creek will not become a stage or a courtroom for a legal dispute between two or more parties, it just isn't our mission.
I am of the opnion that most of the posts here just "piling on" posts with no help for the OP.
It turns out the OP had an equitable Grizzly alternative available and the piling on posts are of no value to him.
