I know, I know, go bigger.
I have access to a larger lathe and mill, with gents that know how to run them.
I am just looking at the bench tops to use at home. I have brought this up before,cold weather seems to bring up some back burner projects.
My major projects would include lube sizer dies. Have read threads here and there on the subject.
I am looking at the grizzly line of machines. Anyone have any hands on input on them?
I chased some of the "9's" around. This part of the country they must not be as common as they sure bring big money at the auctions I have went too. Yes, they are made in the US of A,but the thing being is how were they treated the last 50 years.
I can buy a grizzly with a bunch of tooling,for what these bring. Or a lathe and a mill with a dab of tooling.
I have visited several of the lathe forums and read a lot. Looking for some hands on input with these smaller lathes.
I have looked at the little machine shop lathes and they seem to be a chunk of money more than the grizzly. Are they worth the extra?
