thanks

i was just in the grizzly springfield, mo. store yesterday to lay my hands on one and look it over really well. they said it has been delayed and will arrive in three to four more weeks. i did, however, look at the other grizzly lathes. not impressed at all. extremely rough castings, grindy (is that a word?) tailstock rams, poorly-finished and nicked bedways, chintzy toolrests, etc. they ran a 1495 in the demo room for me...lowest speed is a little high (500 rpm) and was really noisy and vibrated alot. with all that said, i'd like to give the 0632 a good going-over when they get one in stock, though. i hope the 0632 will finally be a real lathe offering from grizzly. but to answer your question, no there are no reviews yet.

Bob, if you are going big, go with the Jet. They are very solid. Wish you were close to Houston I have a great deal on one. Unfortunately it isn't a variable speed.:)
