Woodcraft Slow Speed Grinders

[Kevin Miller]

For those of you out there who have purchased slow speed grinders from Woodcraft recently and have been waiting patiently while they continue to move the backorder date back a week at a time on you, I talked to them today and received some very helpful information.

I was told that they have received a large shipment of the grinders but their engineering department is not happy with the quality and is not willing to release them to customers.

While I was a little disappointed to hear this and also to not be any closer to getting my new grinder I need, I was grateful that they were so honest about this.

I ended up going elsewhere to get a grinder (bought the delta variable speed off of amazon instead).

But I wanted to post this in case anyone else was in the same boat. It doesn't look like this issue is close to getting resolved anytime soon.

I also wanted to commend Woodcraft on this issue for being honest with me. After all, it doesn't appear to me that this is their fault .

Kevin it sound like Ohio has some stand up guys, and they are to be commended.

There had been several posts in other forums about poor QA/QC problems with the grinders, and the company got some major complaints. Its good they held back filling the orders, better to loose a sale but not the customer.
I to went the PC route. Its OK, not a baldor, but hey, its like a 100 buck motor not a 400 dollar one.

I talked with the owner of our local woodcraft store. He said Woodcraft is taking this grinder thing very seriously and trying to weed out the bad Quality control problem. Says a lot about the company.
