Hi all,

Need some opinions here. I am going to be setting up a home based machine shop and have a few questions:

1. Is Grizzly a reputable enough company that I can trust their lathes and mills to give a quality product? I know I can trust Bridgeport for mills. Is there someone similar for lathes?

2. At this point in time I'm more concerned with a quality lathe and mill, and not so much with precision tools, surface plate, micrometer, etc. Should I reajust my thinking so that each of those categories gets the same amount of quality? Who sells quality measuring equipment?

3. Is anyone else doing this and can you give me a run down on how you got started?

Thanks,

Matt
