Harbor Freight parts

I've ordered parts from HF, was very pleased with the price, delivery was OK. I needed a spare drill chuck, picked a suitable drill press, looked up the P/N, ordered by phone. $8 for the chuck, key, and #2 MT adapter, $3(??) S&H. Delivery was about 10 days or so. They don't stock all the parts so any they don't have need to come from Outer Mongolia or where ever they might be sourcing that item.

Yup, ordered it easily. Nice polite young man in New Delhi. Part price was an appealing $2.49, shipping a no-so-appealing $6.99 but for $10 I'm happy, 'cuz the seller knocked off $10 for the missing die.

If you have a local store, go ask the manager. When I talked with mine (down in Glen's area, Medford) he _gave_ me a replacement chuck key for my little HF knockoff of the Foredom grinder under the guise of warranty work. Works for me! (I was willing to pay since I had lost it on my own.) Now I have to find new brushes for that POS 14" Chiwanese cutoff saw I bought on eBay and it fried within 3 minutes of use. I'll get it running and sell it (cheap) now that I have amuch quieter and less messy bandsaw. I suppose I should clean/paint/prep it with a new blade some day soon, huh? It's from GunnerWorld(tm).

I've never had to order any parts from HF, though, so I have no info for you there.

I've had very good luck getting parts for HF equipment.

Started with the control for my trailer winch. Then my floor model drill press. ( it fell off my trailer while relocating my shop. Broke many cast iron parts and the motor pulley, etc. Total cost was very reasonable for these complex castings. Some were back ordered from china.)

It is best to have the manual with the parts list. If you have lost it, just download it from the HF web site and if your model is no longer offered, then find the replacement model and see if it had the same parts.

Good luck,

Steve
