    Newbie lathe question

    Does any know vary much about the jet BD-920W lathe. I know its like the N model but is it any better?? I'am going to buy a new lathe but can't make up my mind to get a Grizzly G0602 or the jet. Any info pro or con would be very helpful

    I'm not personally familiar with Grizzly, but most every piece of Jet equipment I've ever used was primarily light-duty junk. just my .002

    I agree most Jet stuff is made to look good in pictures and is alright for light duty use with lots of setup. If it's a Grizzly lathe made in the last 3-4 years I would go for that. All my new tools, mostly, have been grizzly, from their top of the line table saw to anything else. Absolutely great products, good price and excellent customer service. In the late 80's and early 90's theri support was junk but they've overhauled their service and tools. The President of the company actually posts on some of my woodworking boards.

    Hi Mark. Welcome to the Zone!

    You can't go wrong with the 10 x 22. And just to sweeten the deal, Grizzly now offers free shipping and 6 months no interest to pay financing.
