I have this lathe. I had to consider foot print when I was looking. I'm happy with it. It does what I want. The variable speed is much nicer than my old reeves drive. Had to replace the bearings...

probably a stupid question but with the moisture available would gorilla glue work where you wet half and glue on the other half. What other kind of glue or epoxy would you use.

I posed the question here some time back on how often you turn large pieces. Answers were varied. I was looking at the 766 at the time. Ended up getting the 838 with the extension. That makes it 47...

I have no experience with them but I believe Vega lathes are made in Decatur Illinois. That roughly an hour from Champaign. Go right to the factory and pick it up it's cute that way (Johnny Cash...

I sorry I can't identify it but I have done hickory and it does not look like it to me. The bark is to smooth and not showing the shaggy roughness and the cross cut even though machine cut is not...

I ordered a new lathe from Grizzly roughly 8 weeks ago. A close friend ordered a 14X20 six weeks before me. What is the problem with their inventory. I asked the nice lady why and got a polite reply...

Thanks. I have a great supply of all different kinds of wood and even some burl and crotch. The replies about if you have it you can use it or not but it is available when you want it.

I have been wanting a 766 Grizzly for some time. About pulled the plug a year ago but the tax man hit me hard. Situation has finally settled down and in the market again. How often do you turn over...

I go to auctions and get tools. I take them to Texas when I go for the winter and donate them over the border for kids in school to learn a trade. I have found some really great deals at auctions and...

Ok I'll be the wise guy. A 20 penny nail and a hammer should do the job. Seriously, Depending on the size 2 small screws and picture wire would be my first choice.

I don't watch the show but we were at some friends house. They have some connection to someone on the show and wanted to watch it. They blacksmithed some ugly pieces that were designed to look like...

Man that has to hurt when you look at it. I use a clockwise wrap of blue painters tape on the shoulder and a couple threads on the shaft. Easy to replace usually monthly just for kicks. I have never...

It depends on the effect I want to end up with. I use different sized wires for larger, smaller burn lines. I use black wire, galvanized and even some stainless on the shelf. I hold one end with my...

I notice you are from Indiana. There are a ton of sawmills especially in the southern half. I have a couple close by that I frequent and a box of donuts goes a long way. I find some very cool...

I saw a used 766 on craigslist only three months old. He claims he only turned four bowls on it. Also stated that he has two young children and that he has no time left for turning. He is asking...

I have looped some 20 guage wire into the jaws of vice grips to burn the inside of bowls. About a 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch loop is what I used. Got the results I wanted.

Thanks for all the replies. I had to put a stop on the ordering. My tax man was not very nice to me. I get things settled and there will be a new one in my shop.

Thanks, sorry I was slow on responding life gets in the way. I have ordered one and I like the fact of ordering online I avoid the sales tax and that offsets the shipping charges. As was stated by J...

Went to Grizzly and slobbered on everything. What are the opinions on the GO766 now that they Have been out and used for several months. Really thinking about upgrade.

Thanks Paul
