    Gunsmithing Decent setup for a new builder?

    Have a look on YouTube for some reviews done by Jay Tee, he has a Grizzly G0709 lathe and a G9901 mill. He seems to be extremely happy with his equipment and by the sounds of it, knows machining. Precision Matthews has been getting some great reviews for lathes, they are made in Taiwan which...

    Gunsmithing New Grizzly G0670 Lathe

    Looks great! I'd be interested to hear what you think of it, once you've had some time on it. Did you go with DRO's?

    Hi all, I'm trying to put together a business plan to get some investment for a gunsmithing shop. Very early days and I'm still fleshing out the details. Has anybody used or have an opinion on the XYZ Machine Tools equipment? They run ProtoTrak conversational programming. I'm not sure...

    Gunsmithing Gunsmith Apprenticeship or College Course

    Hey guys, Just wondering if someone can give me some advice. There's the possibility of a gunsmithing apprenticeship I've been offered with a company here in the UK. Now its one the biggest stores in the country and from what I can gather they get a lot of work in a day, they already have 3...

    Gunsmithing Who's your tooling supplier

    Hi all, I'm just wondering who your go to tool and equipment suppliers are for things like end mills, precision measuring equipment and general shop tools? We naturally have suppliers in South Africa but I'd like to investigate and see if it might be cheaper to import from the US. Thanks!

    Gunsmithing Some Voltage and Frequency Lathe Questions

    Hey guys. Well just wanted to update this as Grizzly got back to me. As I suspected they didn't want to recommend anything that their equipment was not designed to run on...can't blame them on that, Id do the same. They also said running their equipment in a way they were not designed for would...

    Gunsmithing Some Voltage and Frequency Lathe Questions

    Thanks for the reply Pugilist, hopefully Grizzly will give me some feedback tomorrow. Would you be able to give me a ball park figure for a replacement motor? It might work our cheaper to source one in the US and have it shipped out with the lathe than trying to find one locally.
