Re: Lathe dilemma
I'd encourage you to not buy that grizzly 4000. A buddy of mine just bought that a couple of months ago, and it was a pain to set up. He ended up placing 3 or 4 more orders with grizzly to get parts he thought were included. On top of that, the spindle (39mm x 4mm) is a very odd thread. We couldn't...
