Good morning all. It's not often that I get to post a tool gloat, so I thought I better use this apportunity. I got home from work last night to find my brand new Grizzly 10" wet grinder:

I tried it out witrh a Tormek adapter I bought last week at Woodcraft for a gouge, and it produced a razor sharp edge. Very nice Tormek/Jet clone. I haven;t had time to really run it through it's paces, but so far, so good.
Then, best of all, I got a phonme call from Woodcraft about 7:30 PM, my new Nova 1624-44 lathe had arrived. Whoopee. I'm going to pick it up firast thing Saturday morning, and start putting her together. I can't wait. This should be a MAJOR upgrade from my 15" Palmgren/Sears lathe. The Palmgren has served me well, but it was time to upgrade. INa few months I'm planning to get the outboard turning attachment for the Nova, and I'm going to pick up a new Nova G3 chuck while I'm there as well.
What do all of you think about the G3 chuck? Should I wait and get a Vicmarc or SuperNova2?
Naturally, pictures will be posted once I have this baby up and running!!!!!
