G0584
I am getting into turning. I have been a woodworker for 10 yrs or so.
I searched this newsgroup for the Grizzly G0584, but didn't find any hits. Does anyone have any experience with this model? Thanks |

Todd,
I would recommend a Delta or JET in that size range. The spindle on the Grizzly is not a "standard" 1" x 12 tpi will be hard to buy accessories for. For a 1" spindle, you really want 8 tpi. This impacts your chuck selection and your faceplate selections. Joe in San Diego |

However the WoodTek (from Wood Workers Supply) should also be considered. http://woodworker.com/cgi-bin/FULLPR...ARTNUM=829-806 -- -------------------------------------------------------- Personal e-mail is the n7bsn but at amsat.org This posting address is a spam-trap and seldom read RV and Camping FAQ can be found at http://www.ralphandellen.us/rv |

Does anyone have any experience with this model? Thanks my experience with a Grizzly lathe a few years ago was 75% bad. They don't do too bad on table saws, but they simply do not adhere to minimal requirements for lathes. Things (handles, toolrests, belts) break and jam and don't quite fit and are not ergonomically comfy. Unles you are quite handy and/or limited in budget, I'd suggest you look at other makes. |
