they raised the prices on almost all there lathes this year...

i almost bought that one with the quick change tool post for $1995 just b/c it was such a good deal,but i had nowhere to put it.

do most of those grizzly's need an aftermarket spindle to be dead nut accurate?

Grizzly makes some nice equipment

Grizzley Lathe Runout

do most of those grizzly's need an aftermarket spindle to be dead nut accurate?

I checked the runout on mine before I bought it. It was less than .001" TIR.
If you use a center support for most of your work you can "dial it in" to whatever tolerance you want. And, you do not need an outboard chuck.
