    Definitely a bruiser at close to 850lbs. Good looking, lots of nice features but as usual "Not ready for immediate shipping". Will be interesting to see a review on it when someone finally gets one.

    Agreed - but it'll probably be May-June before they ever land on our shores.

    Hey Marty, didn't know you were such a fan of Grizzly lathes! When you have a chance, check out this 12/28/15 video of Shiraz Balolia, Pres. of Grizzly, demonstrating the features of one of them. Top speed is only 1800 rpm on that particular model, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb-R...rAUjC75piKhBnK

    Only fault I can see is that the tail stock, when moved off the end by the hinge, is in the way if you turn off that end. It needs to rotate down out of the way.

    The Grizzly lathes are like computers seems like, always another one around the corner. I read and looked at the the pictures to see what the new lathes were about. Nice machines no doubt but the 766 seems to do everything I am interested in now and do it well. I need to get my major accessories together and I think I'll be plenty happy with the 766 for a year or three. No doubt new lathe fever will hit somewhere down the road but unlike the badly needed change from the old craftsman, when I change from the 766 it will be because of want, very unlikely to be because of need. Who knows, the 766 might buy me an American Beauty someday!

    Hi Reed. The tail stock on my Laguna 2436 swings completely out of the way, meaning it swings around and against the opposite side of the bed.
    Also I think you could turn off the swing away, it's that heavily built!

    You can buy them direct from the maker in China but as I can't see pricing on the Grizzly site because they won't ship here I can't see if the price is better or worse.
