    new lathe here

    Let me say thanks for the help on some of my questions in the past. I made my choice for the new Grizzly GO462. 16in x 43in cast iron with a 2hp motor. It got here yesterday and I got it all set up and running. Now I just wish my tools I ordered from another company would get here soon. I have some wood just waiting.

    Roger a suggestion. That extension on the tool rest should be removed for spindle and bowl turning. It's useful for outboard turning but kinda flimsy for everyday use. I have a friend who has that same lathe. I removed it for him and it's a lot sturdier. My .02.

    Some - not all? Ken, Bernie, Corey, Jim - come on guys. We do have a quota you know.

    So Roger - With no tools, how'd you make those shavings? Did'ja just scatter some TS effluent around to provide ambiance? Or did you sharpen a screwdriver?

    Congratulations on your new lathe Roger!
    A bit of advice, take the swivel arm off the banjo
    and just use the tool rest to do inboard turning.
    If you have a bad catch you'll probably snap the
    banjo in half. IMHO only. I had one similar to yours
    and I snapped mine! Found out it's better to remove
    the swivel.
