David I got my grizzly in August. I had trouble with it. So did not get it up and running till a month ago. So time will tell if it was a good buy. I got the G0698. Cecil
Cecil, I did not know that you had a Grizzly machine. I thought I remembered you having a Jet mini lathe. My memory is not always the best though, or are you looking at getting a Grizzly? David
