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...

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?

Great lathe and review, thanks for posting that! Is there a coolant option with that machine?

Cool lathe! I'll be interested to hear what you think of it.

Super cool!

Holy crap, that's cool.

Thanks for the reply Chad, appreciate it. Had a look at the Mori's....daaamn, awesome machines. Think I'm gonna have to sell a kidney to finance one but where there's a will....

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...

Thanks for the replies guys, appreciate it!

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...

Thanks for the replies guys, appreciate it. I had a look at MSC and they seem to carry most things at a decent price too.

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!

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...

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.

Yep my bad, you're right 338RUM its 220 Volt, got my wires crossed (hehe!!). Out of interest what would a replacement 50 Hz motor set me back about?

Hi guys, There is a fair bit of information on Grizzly lathes on this forum and others, and Im considering buying a G0509G Lathe. However there doesn't seem to be too much info on their Mills. Does anyone have any info or feedback on the Grizzly Mills, especially the larger models...and what...

Thanks for the replies guys, Its great to know there is a simple solution to this, relatively cheap too. The Grizzly lathes seem like good buys for the money and the company had been great to deal with so far.

Thanks for the replies guys, appreciate it. I have emailed Grizzly and am waiting on their reply, I was just wondering if anyone else could offer some advice in case Grizzly cant recommend anything due to warranty concerns.

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone with some electrical knowledge could give me some advice. Im looking to buy a Grizzly G0509G lathe. So the Grizzly is a 3 phase, 120 Volt machine that is designed to operate on a 60Hz Frequency power supply. I would like to import this lathe into South...

Re: Manners DBM mini-chassis or Badger bottom? Thats the info I needed, thanks!
