Jeff, I see in the GGMG group that you were finally able to post your questions. So I've replied there with some data points for you.

Roger, thanks for sharing this sad news.
Tom Steyer was indeed a fine gentleman. In 2015, I sent him spindle measurements of the then-relatively new Grizzly G0766 so he could determine whether...
Hardy, due to a forum policy change last year, unless something has changed again recently, I think you need to be a Contributor, rather than simply a free Member, to have private messaging (and...
Hardy, shoot me a PM with your email address, and I'll send it to you. It's not a huge file, but is still too large to post on this forum.
For others reading and commenting on this thread, keep...
Thanks for posting this update, Tom.
Ha! Yes, and probably fewer of the quips that I'm sure he's been getting recently whenever he introduces himself!
Adds a bit of irony to The Bard's timeless question, "What's in a name?" :)
I...
Yep, agree completely with this, although it's probably a bit extreme not even to allow it in the home shop. :) But silicone contamination of the surface of the workpiece is a big problem when...
Tom, I've had the JT Turning Tools vacuum adapter and handwheel kit on my G0766 for a little over four years now and highly recommend it. Likewise for his "Precision Vacuum Chuck Hub" for making...
Yes, and that will also make for another teachable moment: How a disheartening setback can be turned into a fine design opportunity. :)
What is really exciting is when this happens with a bowl...
Stark, thanks for the update. Very puzzling about the handwheel locking up. But, then, rust on the spindle pulley was also puzzling to begin with. Maybe something corrosive, even salt water,...
Stark, further to this. I would first call Grizzly tech support today and confirm with them the procedure, but from the parts list schematic, it looks like the handwheel simply threads onto the...
Stark, is that the G0632z that you've previously posted about? If so, I just pulled up the parts list schematic on Grizzly's site, and removal of the spindle pulley looks fairly straightforward....
Dave and Stark, just drill your banjos to 1" as Roger suggests. Very easy, and your OEM 25mm rests will still work fine. You'll then have more options as you add accessories.
If you don't have a...
David, I've followed your project from its beginning, and your posts are always a treat. This update is especially so. As Jeff says: an incredible tour de force! Thanks for sharing.
Clay - I have no experience with that VFD, but isn't it throwing an error code when it trips under load?
Is this the drive that you have:...
Brian, kudos for taking that project on. I can't help with a duplicator, but this reminds me of a video by Ernie Conover on "Turning for Furniture" that I watched years ago. I can't recall exactly...
David, sorry you're going through this. BTW, the work on your website is beautiful. Are you a member of a woodturning club, or know of someone locally who is? Sounds like you could benefit from...
Well, I'm pretty much a stickler when it comes to production quality. I've kicked the tires on them all, and I couldn't disagree more with this. :)
Brice, with this thread title? Not a chance! ;) I've yet to meet a fellow woodturner who isn't happy to help out with friendly advice.
OP, here's another idea. Grizzly has a local referral...
Jenny, that lathe is a reliable workhorse, as you've probably learned in your research. One of our local clubs uses one for its demos. The CL seller is asking too much, though, IMO. The current...
Gary, got your PMs. Emails sent.
Happy to help. I think you'll really enjoy that lathe.
Gary, I just saw your post and Roger's reply. Congratulations on your new lathe. As you've noted, it uses the Delta VFD-M series AC motor drive, which has 157 user-adjustable parameters. If you'll...
Tom, do a quick web search for "weatherproof in-use outlet cover". Several options available for under $10.
Yes, and I'm just noticing that Glen joined SMC only last month. :)
BTW, welcome to the Forum, Glen! (Leo is really a nice guy. ;) As well as an amazing turner who's helped many of us over the...
Glen, oh no! You mean we have to wait another week to see how this ends? :D
