new lathe

[David Christopher]

well I took a chance, I bought the grizzly 0632, I have been down to WC and used the jet 1642 but decided to give the griz a try and boy am I happy I can't tell any difference between the two I did notice there was a mistake in the catalog it said it had a steel bed but it dont it is cast iron. this thing is smooth as silk and I have $600 to spend on other toys to make up the difference

How did you turn that bowl without any shavings?

[Alan Trout]

Nice looking lathe and your shop does look alot cleaner than mine:) By the looks of all those blanks that new lathe will get a good work out, keep us updated.

Good looking lathe, David. There's nothing like the smell of a new lathe.;)
Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing your work from this one.

All the best.

Good looking lathe, you have to give a full review once you put it through it's paces as people are always asking about it.

Congrats David! Looks like you did well for yourself. I too would like a follow up on this lathe after a few hundred miles. Just curious though...Bill...

[Eugene Wigley]

Congrats on the new lathe. I am sure you will enjoy it. Looks like you have been busy preparing bowl blanks to turn on it. Have fun.

[Steve Schlumpf]

David - congrats on your new lathe! Looking forward to your review of it after you have used it for a bit! Have fun with it!

[Jim Kountz]

I did notice there was a mistake in the catalog it said it had a steel bed but it dont it is cast iron.



Dave

I always wondered about that, I figured it was cast iron but wasnt sure. Congrats on the new lathe, how bout a full review after you get some more hours on it??

[David Christopher]

Thanks for all the kind words, maybe with new lathe and tools my work will look half as good y'alls

congrats on the new lathe. Hope to see pictures of your work. Also be sure to give a review of the lathe after a few weeks.

[Steve Mawson]

Put me on the list of seeing how you like it after several hours of turning. Looks good to start.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats on the new lathe. I was going to ask the same thing a turned bowl with no chips!:eek: I want to know how you did that. I always have a mess.;):rolleyes::cool::D

[David Christopher]

I think the reason that I have no chips is that my tools are so dull I just made dust

[Montgomery Scott]

Yes, the Grizzly is cheaper as it is made in China as opposed to the Jet made in Taiwan.

I think you cleaned up you shop before you took the picture. That is what I would do if I was going to show off my shop.
