Came across this lathe today on Craigslist :slight_smile: grizzly G4016

I was planning on buying a pm1236 but prices keeps Climbing $3500+

This one is like new he only used it few times and I believe it’s worth around 4K new
Got it for 2K with extra tooling and I get to pick it up Saturday

Model G4016 13-1/2” X 40” gear head metal lathe with stand. Used very little, excellent shape. 220V single phase 2hp motor, 8 speed 78 - 2100 RPM, D1-4 camlock chuck mounting. Comes with 3 and four jaw chucks, 12” faceplate, steady rest, follow rest, 4 way tool post and live centers.

C20 build and DIY sinkpad screw up :) Finished with beamshots!

I wonder if that’s easy or hard

11

nice score nitro. on another note, that host is now in country thanks to the blf courier service, I should have it in hand tomorrow or Wednesday, along with some chi x goodies to suit 8) thanks for sorting that buddy.

12

Woooow!

13

The question is, What are you going to do with it? 8)

14

You need 2 spaces in your existing panel for a 2 pole 20 amp circuit breaker.

Some 12/2 Romex from A to B

A 20 amp 220 volt receptacle and a 20 amp 220 volt cord whip.

Not a bad job to do at all.

I should be able to talk/email you thru the whole thing.

15

Can’t wait to see what you start churning out with it! Guess we all need to gather our bits and pieces and have a block party at Nitro’s get it broke in good! :wink:

16

D1 Chuck align is nice. Hope you crank out some quality stuff on it.

17

That's a lot of machine for the money. Congrats !

Wow this look serially like new.
