Just wanted to post an update. I received my PM 1022v on Friday July 19th. It took my wife and I the better part of a day to figure out how we were gonna get it lifted on to it's table. I didn't...

Just updating. I have cancelled my order for the Grizzly G0752Z and ordered the Precision Matthews 1022V with DRO. The biggest reason was that the Grizzly is back-ordered to at least Mid August,...

IM back again. So the Grizzly is 0752Z is not expected to be in stock until the middle of August. I have placed my order, but now I'm comparing it to a PM 1022V/1030V ...

wmgeorge: Did you completely tear down your Grizzly's when you received them.. or are a lot of the forum comments exaggeration regarding all the grit left in after the manufacturing process?

Thanks again all. You have convinced me to stick with the G0752Z. I placed my order... so now I just wait until the get them in stock again.

Just another question... the 0752Z is currently out of stock. Does everyone think the Grizzly G0768Z is too small and it is more of a "toy" lathe? I realize the all the pro's probably even consider...

Just as an FYI.. at this point I am now leaning towards the Grizzly G0752Z. I am a little shocked myself. Two days ago I would have bet money that I would go with one of the two LMS machines I...

That was my mistake with not using correct terminology. I was referring to the QCTP tool holder mounts. I think most of the QCTP i have seen normally come with 4-5 tool holders. I sure eventually...

In the specs for the G0602Z, under threading it states Metric threads can only be RH. It also has a RH for imperial threads. Does that mean this machine is not capable of cutting left hand threads?...

Thanks for you input (109jb). I really do appreciate it. The grizzly I was looking at from the beginning was https://www.grizzly.com/products/Grizzly-8-x-16-Variable-Speed-Lathe-with-DRO/G0768Z. ...

I had not really considered converting the lathe to a cnc. I always knew I'll convert the mill to a cnc when I get to that point. Are the benefits for a cnc lathe similar to that of a cnc mill? In...

Yes, I realize they are both Chinese in origin. I'm just going by forum comments ... and a asked that question directly to LMS. Their reply was that they have heard the grizzly arrive pretty...

To be honest... that is where i started.... looking at grizzly machines. But it seems like every forum I was on said the same thing. The grizzly machines are fine if you dont mind totally tearing...

I'm about to purchase my first metal lathe. I am a total newbie but think this will be a great new hobby/skill for me.

I think i have narrowed it down between these two Little Machine Shop...
