I would give grizzley a call and explain the situation. I have a few of their tools and have always understood them to be a good company with above average support. Always worth a call - maybe they will ignore the fact that the warranty just ran out. Wouldn't hurt to casually mention that you know a lot of other guys who use lathes and might be mentioning this situation to them. I find if you can put a little subtle hint in there that they often realize it would be better to step up to the plate than to get some bad press.
