Pete, Just a note to say welcome to the Grizzly Green Monster Group! Hopefully there will be active discussion/ information for the members of the group. What model lathe do you have? There are already 2 discussion threads on the group site. I think you have to click on the individual members icon in order to view the question from that member. Fred Belknap has a good question related to the G0698, and I have replied with some information, if you are interested.
