Re: To anyone needing a lathe
With names on that list like clausing, hardinge, and leblonde, grizzly doesnt deserve to be on the same.

Re: To anyone needing a lathe
Here's a better link- clausing only (they're on the list just scroll down, the first listings are parts.)

Clausing lathes are arguably the best manual's around.

Re: To anyone needing a lathe
Anyone who tells you that the Chinese clones are crap and you should get an American classic, is like someone telling you not to get a Hyundai to commute to work, but to get a 1965 car from Detroit.
That is ok for a '65 car that was parked in a garage for decades and only has 50,000 miles. But all you can find or afford is a rusted out '65 with 400,000 miles.
Been there, done that.
Are you restoring antique lathes, or building rifles?
Yes Asian cars are crap. Commute to work in a Duesenberg.

Re: To anyone needing a lathe
That might be so, but after seeing some of the grizzly units that showed up rusty, banged up, and looking like they have been run over by a train... i'd be nervous to commit a big chunk of money.
as with cars, guns, horses, dogs, women, and everything else... caveat emptor
