Bought this used 2 years ago from someone I knew in Wisconsin and had it shipped to me here in northern California. I've not been disappointed with it at all. It's a very solid mill. It was manufactured in 1993. The DRO is actually American made in Chatsworth, California (I use to work in Chatsworth).
I installed an American Rotary 3ph converter so it has the original 1.5hp 3ph motor with 10 speeds. It has lots of power.
Two months ago I installed the column riser. On sale at Grizzly for $180 I took the chance. It was a drop-in installation. Not a single problem.
I paid $1,700 for this mill 2 years ago and it has paid for itself 2x by making long eye relief scope mounts for vintage Mauser military rifles.
