Lathe question Grizzly G0602

[macguy]

I need kind of quick answer as I am going to give the guy my offer in the morning. He is looking for like the $700. I never owned a Grizzly lathe. I am wondering what those who own them think honestly of the quality. Have you burned out motors and so on.

Grizzly has excellent product and parts support.

That is a big plus.

The question is, what are you going to do with it ?

For those who own Grizzly lathes, is the spindle bore clean, smooth and concentric ?

And you can get parts from Harbor Freight if Grizzly is out.
