Roger and others have me so pumped about the new Grizzly 766 shipping that I decided to take a look at the manual on line. Something odd (to me at least) caught my eye. In one of the pictures it shows a bowl being turned with the operator on the "back" side of the lathe. I have always worked from one side (front) of the lathe and wondered if I'm really in the right position. The picture shows the inside of the bowl being turned.
I have the ability to place my lathe in any position so I thought I would ask. Do you turn from both sides of the lathe?
