The person I bought it from stated that he had used 3 sides of the cutters. I haven't been inside yet to see if I can tell which side was left since I don't know which way he rotated them. Just...
I searched around a bit but couldn't find an answer on this. I recently acquired a G0453PX planer with spiral cutter head. I need to replace the cutter inserts (74 of them) and Grizzly price is...
They make spindle adapters for most of the common thread sizes. Should be able to find them at Penn State or Packard Woodworks relatively cheap.
Hampton Roads, Virginia is large enough that there are good finds on CL...along with all the Harbor Freight junk. They usually go quick, so you have to be a pretty regular browser to keep up. I...
It's simpler than most people think. You are only taking .4mm off the banjo. As has been said before the most critical part is making sure your banjo is clamped in place so it doesn't move. I did...
While I agree that would be the strongest design for strength and stability, I have never seen a tool rest used regularly at it's lowest point with the shoulder in contact with the banjo. I have seen...
This is what I was trying to articulate yesterday. I know my aftermarket tools rest didn't seat very far into the current G0766 banjo. I didn't measure mine when I got home due tot the response be...
Mr Balolia,
My concern was that the after market tool rests that I have wouldn't be long enough to tighten in the banjo. It's just speculation at this point as I'm not home to see how far my rest...
I'm not at home to look at my lathe, but just want to make sure the lowered banjo section won't be so low that it wouldn't accommodate other tool rests. I, as well as others have the robust tool rest...
With the Robust rests I purchased, the added height won't be a problem at all. Of all the Tool Rests I've used, I really like the configuration of the Robust rests the best. I have both the low...
Robust already makes an offset like the one above. Thought about getting it when I ordered my tools rests but couldn't come up with a good reason...Tool Rest Dog Leg - $64...
I replaced the ones on my Jet 14" with the Blue urethane tires last year. I love them. The hot water soak definitely made it easier. I also installed a quick de-tensioner to keep the pressure off the...
Picked up some 1 1/4 x 8 inserts for my Nova chucks and got them installed. I did need to file a little off the Lathe spindle for them to fit properly. Took it easy and removed a very small amount,...
Not sure what order they are being filled. I ordered mine on March 25th and already have mine. I'm guessing some of the earlier orders either didn't clear credit cards when ready or something else...
I asked this question in a different thread but didn't get any responses.
Only real question I have is that the nut for the headstock and tailstock weren't lock-nuts like the banjo. :confused: The...
Got it put together and running last night. There were a couple small paint blemishes but nothing bad. The bolt on the motor that was loose turned out to be the pivot bolt...not a big deal. Took...
Success! Lathe arrived yesterday. I paid for lift gate service, so the UPS guy put it on the ground and used a pallet jack to place it right in front of my garage. Crating was in great shape, as well...
Where are you located? Local clubs often have lathes that come up at decent prices, might be worth checking out. I will probably have my lathe (Jet 1220 non-vs) up for sale shortly once I get my new...
Definitely a UPS problem....not Grizzly. I can think of a few scenarios that it would turn out like this...none of which make me any happier. I figure the local terminal here isn't used to making...
Disappointment Friday. :mad: Called Thursday and made an appointment for delivery, 2-6pm. Took the afternoon of work and had a friend come over to help. I figured it would be later in the window so I...
Roger. Joined a while back when I ordered the lathe. Hadn't checked in over there as I don't actually own a Grizzly yet. I'll make sure and post some things once I get the lathe up and running. I was...
Got my email last night also. Card has been charged. Estimated delivery Friday 6/12. Wasn't expecting it until the end of the month at the earliest. My order date was March 25th.:D:D
I ordered mine March 25th. Called them yesterday and was given the June 22nd arrival date and delivery shortly after. I went into this purchase understanding it could be August/September before I see...
Beautiful! Very well executed. I might have to steal some of the design ideas when I finally get around to making one for myself.
How did you choose to attach the handle?
