Is anyone else experiencing a problem with Grizzly and backorders? I had ordered a set of planer blades and waited over 2 months for them to ship. Then, the motor died on my 12 1/2" portable planer, and when I received my replacement, the arbor for the roller drive was different. I placed the order for the compatible sprocket and was told it was backordered until May 6 (a week away)..... Well, here it is May 24th, and still no word on it.
Fortunately, this is not a "mission critical" piece of equipment to my business, but as my work load is increasing, I'm wondering if I need to rethink my equipment vendors and suppliers, because I could never go this long without a planer and stay profitable or competitive.
Anyone else?
