Worked in a large foundry 30 yrs ago. I know the production steps involved in producing high quality mallable iron castings, or rather, how quality iron castings USED TO BE PRODUCED in this country. Am wanting to outfit my shop for metal working and was looking at (gulp) Grizzly Tools. Saw an older Griz catalog that showed they have a very large planer / grinder waiting for customers complaining about warped tables. They just grind 'em flat again when they warp. Apparently, the overseas company that produces these tools never heard of the "seasoning, stress relief, annealing" production steps used to produce castings that hold their shape after being machined to their final size. Anyone out there with first hand knowledge concerning the relative quality of Grizzly metal lathes, milling machines and other metal working tools? Thanks for all replies.

most of their tools seem to be made in china or tiawan.you can get away with a lot in wood working tools.the stresses on metalworking tools are another matter altogether.my boss spent $17,000 on a new import(asian made)metalcutting geared head lathe two years ago.was a major dissapointment.looks good but castings are soft and has been nothing but trouble.also bought bridgeport type mill,another piece of junk.low quality.said if he was to do it again he would buy good used american machines instead.you pays your money and takes your choice(or chances).some swear by them and others swear at them.

Don't know about their metalworking tools, but their contractor grade woodworking tools have gotten very good reviews from the fellows over on a woodworking site I used to visit. Don't recall the site URL, but it was affiliated with Wood magazine.
