My tail stock on my G0776 is stuck. It won't extend. It was over extended. Anybody had this problem and more importantly anybody got a suggestion for fixing it? The end wheel will not crank at all. We have forced it quite a bit and still no luck. - Resolved - Thanks!
Same thing happened to me a month ago. I was able to free it up but it would only move about an inch. Grizzly sent me a new lead screw and quill. I never could get mine fixed.
After I posted I explored the tailstock a little more and removed the quill. It is the quill that has failed and will not turn. I will talk to Grizzly as I am well under one year.
Jeff, they will replace it under warranty at no charge. I am wondering if you just cranked it out too far, or was there something that prevented the quill from retracting like galled up threads?
Just got through talking to Grizzly and they are sending me a new quill and lead screw under warranty - no charge.
I received the new quill and lead screw from Grizzly today. Is there any grease I should or should not use on the lead screw when I install it in the quill?
White lithium grease is the way to go, Jeff. It is durable enough to protect, and yet not sludge up with dust. I also like some of the clear lithium greases available in tubes, that have teflon in them. Even 3in1 oil will work, but may have to be reapplied every so often.
I am glad you recommended white lithium Roger because that is what I bought today! Thanks again.
