I bought a power feed for my milling machine from CDCO of Tower Road
Schaumburg , Illinois .

Being in Australia I recieved it about 10 days after I paid the invoice.
On opening the box I noticed the lack of decent packaging and there was
some evidence of damage from some of the loose parts in the box hitting
against the main unit.The parts and main unit were in normal plastic
bags and he had put about a dozen of those foam peanuts in there which
did nothing .
I immediately e-mailed the owner and told him of the damage he replied
saying that customs must have opened the parcel and removed the packaging .
Well there was no "opened by customs" sticker so I would guess it was
x rayed and not opened.
I decided I could fix the cracked plastic cover and would live with the
scratches .
I decided to do a test fitiing the next night and found to my dismay
that the mongrel thing does not fit my machine .I e-mailed him again and
told him of the situation ,and said that I would send it back and take
the value of the power feed in other good rather than a monetary refund.
He replied that I should "sell it to my friends.:
I replied that I did not have any friends that have milling machines and
that I reside in a remote out back town and that I have no chance to
sell it on .(like who would want to buy a damaged unit anyway).
I asked If he had a unit that would fit my machine and sent an attached
image of my mill.
He replied that I should take a picture of it and sell it on Ebay Australia.

On futher investigation ,I will be able to fit it to my machine but it's
going to be a major modification and manufacturing a new mounting
bracket, and mods to the bevel drive gear to get it to fit .
I will also be unable to fit the table hand crank wheel back on with the
power feed in place.

Any way I have given up on this dog and am warning anyone contemplating
purchasing any thing from him to steer well clear of him .
He dosen't mind taking your money but when it comes to after sales
service , well,he has none.
I am also looking at lodging a complaint with the US Federal Trade
Commission which has an international consumer protection agreemanr with
Australian Consumer protection group.

I have bought from them before with good service, but I've never had an
issue like that to see how their CS works. They do seem to have some
good deals, but one experience like yours can negate that.
Please do keep us posted.

You should have opened it in front of the truck driver, and refused
shipment because it's damaged.

Then, if the guy doesn't make good, sue the *******. (salesman, shipper,
their relatives, you know the drill.) ;-)

Good Luck!

I bought some stuff from CDCO and can repeat what Rex said. Those
were more simple things, however.

In addition, I bought a (very likely) identical powerfeed from a
similar distributor in the US. The powerfeed was packaged very
decently. If CDCO resells the same powerfeed, I would concur with the
assumption that the package was tampered with in transit.

I have had some items damaged in shipping to AU, but not many - but in my
case the items were cheap, and the shipping was 10 or 20X what the buyer
paid for the item - your machine parts are much more expensive there, but at
least you get to try the thing out or at least inspect it first. Because of
the cost of shipping, the advise to sell it locally may actually be really
good advise - even with the damage, you may well get your $$ back out of
it - and postage within AU is for more cost effective, even if you have to
ship across the country, than international post. I looked at some
machinery in a machinery surplus store outside Adelaide, and I was
astounded - parts that I wouldn't pay $10 for were marked at $400 to $500,
and a clapped out rusty wolhaupter head with no accessories was marked $950.

Perhaps if you post here exactly what mill you have, someone can tell you
what power unit might fit it. Or, you can get a gear drive motor and make
your own (guys like me, and probably Iggy have such small motors, and
shipping to AU runs around $40 for a flat rate box if I remember right)

He admitted he repacked it in a UPS box for shipping ,the main unit was
just in a normal
plastic bag ,the mounting parts and the limit switches were also just in
a plastic bag .
The rest of the packaging included 6 foam peanuts floating around
amongst the loose bags of parts .
I also ordered a 0-1/4 keyless chuck and a J1 arbour to suit ,I have no
issue with the drill chuck ,
I'm very happy with that.

When Australian Customs open parcels , they put a pamphlet in the box to
alert you that it has been
opened and it contains information on items that are not allowed to be
imported ,
you also get a bright orange sticker on the out side of the box as well
informing you that the parcel has been opened for customs inspection by
Australia Post .

Since they now have xray machines at every port ,they rarely open
parcels unless
the xray inspector flags some thing thats not right.
In five years I have had only two parcels opened ,one by Customs
and one by AQUIS (Australian Quarantine Inspection Service) both parcels
had stickers
and pamphlets included , and both parcels passed through.

The same or similar power feed is $600.00AUD here plus shipping and
another $120.00 for a 240/110 2 amp transformer to power it.
The main reason I bought from the US and the Aussie dollar was up at 85
cents against the US dollar.

My mill is a Taiwanese import , of around 2000 manufacture maybe earlier
, it is floor mounted and is very similar to the mill that Grizzly sold
as a wood mill ,the only difference I can see is that my mill does not
has a dovetailed beam that carries the head that can be cranked in and
out or the hole in the center of the table .
I have the Grizzly manual and the parts manual both downloaded from the
Grizzly website , the manual shows the power feed fitted to thier
machine ,that's why I bough the power feed , it looks the same as the
one I recieved .

All the badges have been removed so I can't even tell where it was
purchased but I am certain it came from Hare & Forbes as I have seen one
on Ebay Australia that is identical with the H&F labelling .
I can e-mail images of it if that would help.


There is another type of power feed that is for bench mounted mill drills .
I was prepared to pay return postage and exchange the power feed if it
would fit my machine , he would have suffered no loss at all.

Actually I just looked at the Grizzly website and this mill is almost
identical to mine ,except mine is an older model and does not have the
variable speed , hand wheels are a bit different .This one looks to have
longer shafts that the handwheels are mounted on.
But the two bolt extension on the end of the table looks the same bolt
hole pattern.
The bearing housing in the extension on the grizzly looks to protrude
further out
http://www.grizzly.com/products/8-x-...cal-Mill/G0678

The power feed I bought is the first on the left column and the one I
reckon I should have got is the second one down.

http://www.grizzly.com/catalog/2009/Main/609

I've just looked at the installation manuals on the Grizzly site and may
be able to fit it easier than I thought , the chingchong instructions
that came with the power feed are not the clearest to say the least.
I may not need that adaptor bracket that came with the unit just drill
and tap the bearing housing on the end of the table to take the four
socket cap screws.

That's what I'd do (and probably will for my mill, when I get around to
it G). But, that's what I like doing, especially the figuring out how
to do it. YMMV.

And I'd use a DC motor and servo amp. See my power feed on my lathe:

You might find some ideas under the various mounting instructions on
this page. One thing to be careful of is that you don't mess up your
mill's bearing setup for handling the lead screw's thrust load.

We have surplus stores like that in Texas, too.
Apparently there are people who eventually pay those prices. or not.

I agree. It's not that difficult, and it's become a little less so in
the past year. the forms became shorter for small stuff

I thought the only thing that CDCO sells is powerfeeds for
Bridgeports?


If you look at his website it doesn't say what they fit ,obviously he
has no clue .He cannot offer advice because he dosen't have the
mechanical knowledge or skills or experience to offer knowlegedable advice.
I find that typical of some vendors both here and the US ,they have no
clue as to how to use or install the equipment that they sell .It's just
a profit thing with them ,grab the dollars and offer no after sales
service.

I picked it up from the post office ,registered mail.

Well, either the post office damaged it, or the guy shipped crap.

Either way, there _should be_ some recourse. Maybe call one of those
ambluance-chasers who advertise all over the place.

Good Luck!

It was the way he repacked it, he admitted he removed it from it's
original factory packaging and repacked it in a UPS box , he just left
it in it's original plastic bags and put it into a larger box , with 6
(no kidding I counted them ) foam peanuts.
Plenty of space between the other parts also in plastic bags to move
around and hit together.
Plus there was a keyless drill chuck I ordered floating around in there
as well.

After you first posted, I sent a copy of your message to CDCO.
As a customer, I wanted to know what they had to say about it.
No response.
