The helical cutterheads have the carbide inserts mounted at a slight angle to the path of the workpiece. This produces a shearing action during the cut. The spiral cutterheads have the carbide inserts mounted perpendicular to the workpiece travel. Most customers seem to prefer the helical; however, any differences may be slight. The carbide insert cutterheads are quieter than the HSS knife cutterheads. The inserts with their four cutting edges can be rotated or replaced individually, if dull or damaged. Only the damaged inserts would need to be replaced instead of replacing all the knives, or at a minimum, offsetting the damaged knife.

How do I receive freight deliveries?
We often receive questions concerning how freight deliveries work. We have done our best to provide insight to these common concerns.
Common questions about our freight policy to get your shipments safe and sound.
Liftgate service and freight policy:
Freight deliveries arrive on a tractor-trailer. The truck needs a safe place to park at the curb and cannot park on highways, busy roads, cul-de-sacs, dead ends, private driveways, or unpaved roads. The truck will not enter your driveway or back down your street.
Freight typically arrives within 4–6 business days. Rural areas or partner carriers may add up to a week to this timeframe. Please ignore delivery dates on the carrier’s website—they’re often inaccurate.
For residential deliveries, the carrier will call at least one business day in advance to schedule delivery during regular hours. Providing your best contact number is essential.
If there’s no loading dock, freight will be unloaded curbside. Liftgate service is available for $34—this lowers the freight to the ground, but you’ll still need to move it from the curb to your shop or garage. If needed, be sure to select liftgate service during checkout.
After unloading, confirm the number of boxes received matches the shipment total. Any missing items must be documented by the driver before they leave.
Before the driver leaves, inspect the packaging together for any signs of damage, such as dents, scuffs, tears, or holes. Ensure the driver notes specific documentation, such as “crushed packaging” or “refused due to crushed packaging,” to help us offer prompt support in the event of damage. General comments like “subject to inspection” or “refused” are not sufficient and will not support a damage claim. In many instances, the driver will need to call in the damage claim at the time of delivery.
If anything is damaged, missing, or appears repackaged, take clear photos before and after uncrating, and keep all packaging in case a return is needed. Then, contact us so we can help resolve the issue promptly.
What if my address isn't tractor-trailer accessible?
You have the option of picking up your machine at the carrier’s terminal, where they will load it onto your vehicle. Let the carrier know when they call to schedule delivery that you want to pick it up. Be sure to check for any damage or shortages when picking it up. We can also check to see if the carrier has a smaller truck that can deliver to you. This must be researched before your order is shipped and there may be additional fees for this service. Please submit a request HERE.
Do you offer any special services for freight deliveries?
For an additional charge, some freight terminals may offer extra services, such as moving the freight into your ground-level shop or garage. Please submit a request HERE if you need assistance beyond standard curbside delivery.
Delivery Limitations: Please note that none of our carriers will:
- Move freight up or down stairs.
- Drive on residential driveways.
- Drive on unpaved roads.
Important: Any additional services arranged apply only to the initial delivery and are not available if your product needs to be returned.

What does Grizzly charge for shipping?
Grizzly offers free standard shipping on most non-freight items for qualifying orders of $50 or more to any location within the contiguous 48 US States. Free shipping does not apply to items designated as "special shipping."
Items designated as "special shipping" have flat-rate shipping and handling charges per item that are assessed by the weight and size of the item. We are unable to waive or alter these charges to help keep our prices as low as possible and stay competitive for our customers.
Purchases of qualifying non-freight items ordered at the same time as freight items will not be charged the additional small shipping charge (see chart below). We encourage everyone to take advantage of free shipping on qualifying accessories and consumables when ordering.
If you're ordering non-freight items under $50, the shipping and handling charges are as follows:
Order Total
Shipping
Under $14.99
$8.99
$15 to $24.99
$12.99
$25 to $49.99
$16.99
$50 and over*
Free
Shipping charges may be taxable depending on the laws of your state.
*Free Shipping Exclusions: Items that do not count towards the minimum $50.00 merchandise total or qualify for free shipping include:
- Digital items, such as software or South Bend Serial Cards
- Gift Certificates
- Shipping Assessorials such as Liftgate
- Special shipping items. Special Shipping items are identified by individually assigned shipping rates located on their item pages and at checkout.
For deliveries to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and other US Territories for non-freight items, we use UPS or USPS, and additional shipping and handling charges will apply.
- We provide a shipping quote for all freight and oversize deliveries to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and other US Territories.
- Please note that we do not ship freight to US territories other than Puerto Rico, but we can ship to the address of a mainland freight forwarder of your choice.
- Select non-freight items that are considered special shipping due to the size or weight of their package must be shipped separately from other non-freight items and do not qualify for free shipping.
For additional information or to request a quote, please get in touch with our Contact Center by PHONE or by clicking HERE to submit a ticket.

How are returns processed when they are received back into your warehouse?
Once your return shipment is received in our warehouse, it takes approximately two to three business days for our staff to inspect the product and set up your replacement order or refund. It can take slightly longer during extremely busy times.
If we are repairing the item you returned, additional time will be required to order replacement parts and make repairs. If you originally paid for the item using a credit card, PayPal, PayPal Credit or Amazon Payments, we will credit your original form of payment. We will issue a refund check for items originally paid for by check, money order or bank wire transfer. If we reimburse your return shipping costs, we will do so in the form of a refund check. We may also issue a Gift Certificate for store credit in some circumstances.
All defective and non-defective returns must be in original packaging, unused and in resalable condition and are subject to a 10% restocking fee when applicable. Original shipping and handling charges are not refundable. Return shipping and handling charges will be deducted from the refund.
