Panther mills

[moondoggie]

I know this is an older post but just updating for people thinking of buying. I ordered a Panther 2 on Dec 15 2017, and received the auto response of payment and ship date of 14-28 business days. On Jan 4 just sent an email to see progress, little early because of holidays, but just wanted to check. I received an instant replay that it would be 4-6 weeks. Feb 13 I sent another email just checking again, due to having wood on the ground and no reply. Feb 21 I sent another email and no reply. I am still going to give them a chance before canceling, but if you need a mill today, you might be better going somewhere else. I'm new to this forum so you can take this with a grain of salt, but looks like I am not the only one having issues. Thanks, and hope you all have a great day. Will update when and if I get the mill.

Same thing happened to me. I waited 43 days before cancelling my order. I kept getting what I would call excuses. I finally grew tired of waiting. I did receive a full quick refund though.

These guys got me my Mill in a week.

Nice, I might have to go that route

I think I got mine from Baileys and it was only days. Being on the East Coast, when I order something out West, it usually goes out the same day. I certainly didn't have to wait for them to make it, Joe.

Just wanted to update. My mill is at home and waiting on me. Order Dec 15 2017, received mill March 21 2018. I’ll let you know how it looks.

Hope it looks new and skweeky clean.

At least yours has paint left on it. They must have packed mine while the paint was still wet. Had a bunch of it on the inside of the box!

Tighten the depth bolts well. Check them after your first few cuts.

I bought my mill from them. It was on eBay so I messaged them and he said he had one already made in the size I wanted so I ordered it and it took over a month for him to even ship it being already made and didn’t have to make it. And the jigs that bolt to the bar aren’t square you can see at first glance and was told oh it’ll cut just fine lol

Lololol it never ends with them. He clearly didn't have one made already. You get what you lay for ladies and gents.

True that. I mean the mill itself I like it an cuts great. Just all the obstacles ya gotta go thru and deal with just to get it to your door

I would miss not having the channel in the rails. Makes width adjustments easy.
Also, It was very easy to attach a winch into that channel with simple carriage bolts.
I like the look of the rectangular tube for the posts on this Mill ^^^ Looks super strong.
It sure looks much "stockier" than the Granberg, ... does it need to be?
These things are heavy enough!

Just a quick FYI, I ordered a panther mill from them in April 2018. Five months later and it is September and I still have not had a responce to my phone calls or emails. Still no mill.

If you have knowledge of this thread before you ordered then you are the only one to blame lol. Sorry. I'd open a case with my bank or credit company.

Hey guys, new on here and this is an old thread for sure. Wish I’d have found it sooner! Ordered a Panther2 last week and get an automated email saying the time now is 4 to 8 weeks due to medical issues. I have emailed the guy twice and tried to call to cancel order to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Just cancel with the PayPal account you paid with, and order a Granberg.

Is it safe to say that’s what you did? Ordered mine dec 15th 2018 and everything seemed normal. Six weeks passes and i email the guy and get the automated response.

I ordered the 72” mill. Cant afford the same from granberg

 

[Clifwoodman]

I ordered with a credit card...have emailed the guy 4 times and called once, no response. Gonna wait the 4 weeks and then file a complaint with Florida attorney generals office. Probably won’t do any good but what the heck. It’s unbelievable to me that someone in business like that would just abandon any customer service...SMH...

 

[Clifwoodman]

Well, went to Panthermill website and it says he is shutting down. Can’t even link to send him an email...SMH...

Yeah i checked paypal, the money was never debited from my account. So now i have a granberg 48” mill on the way from acme tools. It’s a shame but it is what it is. I hope the dude is ok
