I have had the G0755 for about three years now and in the main am very happy with the mill.
In most regards it has been a very solid machine. I have had one issue with the gear shift handles.
They are a phenolic plastic with a steel sleeve to go over the 12mm shaft from the head with a 3mm spring pin through both. I broke the right hand handle about a year ago and ordered another pair from Grizzly. To my surprise, they came with no hole drilled in them. I took the steel sleeve that I had been using to shift gears off and found that the hole for the pins must be drilled by hand at assembly. It was off centre and off square to the shaft. After a lot of measuring and fussing I did manage to drill the new handle to match the hole in the shaft.
All good until last week when the other handle broke. In a fit of pique I decided to replace the handles with something that would not continue to annoy the crap out of me.
