New Lathe

[Roger Bailey]

I am looking at getting a lathe, I do not know a lot about them and was looking for an entry level one. I seen in a catalogue the new Grizzly GO462 16in x 43in with a 2hp motor. Does anyone know if this would be a good starter lathe? Is there any features it does not have that I should look for? I have bought from Grizzly before and was very happy with what I got so that is why I am leaning towards them on a lathe.

Hi Roger, there is a discussion on the lathe you have inquired about, on pg. 2. It's under Hmmmmmm I wonder.
