Well the old SB 9 took a crap on me today. Turning a piece of 1" aluminum round and smoke started billowing out of the headstock. Opened the undercabinet door and so full of white smoke I couldn't see a thing.
Anyway, thinking of ordering a new one from Grizzly unless someone knows a cheaper/better place to order one. Ordered new motor for my mill from them and very happy with it.
Didn't have a flashlight with me, but think it's a standard 1/2 HP 1725 rpm motor. Will have to pull it out to be sure.
Any thought on upping motor to 3/4 HP ? I don't think it's necessary, but wondered if anyone had and preferred the larger motor.
