Wow! This lathe looks a lot like my Laguna 2436. I have been turning on it for about 9 months now and I am very satisfied. I have the tail stock swing away and the 20" extension.
I've put many hours on this lathe and am really enjoying the +800lbs. of cast iron. My previous lathe was a Jet 1642, while very capable, not even in the same league as this machine.

Oh man! I can almost feel a new itch starting, and I don't know how long I can keep from scratchin' it! That thing looks good!

I think if I actually pull the trigger on another lathe, it will likely be an American Beauty. Temptations, temptations....what's a guy to do?

This does resemble the Harvey and the Laguna Revo lineup.......this looks to have an A/C motor and inverter combo on it, and not the D/C motor like the Laguna and Harvey lines. No doubt made by the same company with Grizzly's particular specs on it. The cage guard on it looks like the one on the PM3520b and PM 4224, but just painted a different color. I think all the Asian made lines are made to specs for the different vendors using universally available parts.........the manufacturing link is obvious in most of the Asian makes.

Looks like the low speed is 60 instead of 600 rpm.

[Steve Schlumpf]

First thing I noticed John... low speed was way off. Looks like a capable lathe - hope someone writes a review once they have it!

That's correct John. My Laguna 2436 has a low speed of 60.
Outstanding torque at not too much higher than that.

Laguna 2436 is one.

Roger, before you start scratching that itch you better stiffen up the floor in your shop or it may begin looking like a bounce house. Then go for it. We only live once.

Well Faust......'tis true we only live once! In August I replaced my 1997 Dodge Dakota 4x4 wood hauler with a 2015 full size Ram Big Horn edition, pretty tricked out. I have invested in some aftermarket rests from Robust and a banjo from Oneway for that G0766. That itch might just have to go away on its own!

You are right about the shop floor........I am hoping to remedy that with a relocation and a MUCH larger shop in the future. That is the plan anyway!

Is this online yet? I did some searching, but could not find it.

New catalog items usually go up on the website Jan. 2nd or 3rd.

Looks wonderful. After a few minutes of consideration, the 766 has more balance with the rest of my life, but this really looks like a super-tool.

[Mark Greenbaum]

I'd say those of us who have already purchased and received the G0766 are lucky. The price for the G0799 is $1000 more and 1 hp less, but smaller throw over the ways, and center to center just a few inches longer. That swing away might be a nice add-on for mine, but the bed is so long as is, I just push the tail stock to the end and have plenty of elbow room. I'm glad I bought what I've got. I turned 2 bowls this morning in less that 2 hours. Lots of sawdust to my chicken raising friend at work.

But, 242 lbs heavier.
