For the price this kind of lathe is not bad. Mine is the same lathe with a different name stamped on it. Having the QCTP on these makes a huge difference.
That is a steal!! I am in the same process… and have a Jet 9 X 20 with the QTC…. but I have almost that in the QTC and holders… $500 wouldn’t touch mine!! Somebody is going to be lucky!!! Good Luck With The Sale!!! 0:)
that’s a crazy price CX, I can’t see you keeping it for long. I’d take it off your hands in a heartbeat but I just don’t have that money to spend for the next year or so and I can’t conscionably ask you to hold it back until then
Well… Since we are showing pictures of new toys…. This one arrives next week.
Meanwhile… I am taking up a collectoin for food!!! …Oh… and perhaps a place to sleep when Sweetthing finds out what I got her for her birthday next week!!! 0:) I figure she can oly kill me ONCE!!! Dan.
texaslumens - awesome - exactly what I’m saving for, although, if I were local, I’d buy CS’s in the meantime. sure wouldn’t be hard to unload (in chicago) at that price. out here in the boonies…different story…
Very nice, TexasLumens. That Grizzly is almost identical to the PM1340 sitting in the shop downstairs. I actually referred to the G0709 literature in setting up the PM lathe.
Good luck with the install ! Are you planning on using the flood coolant system ?
Thanks! I’m looking forward to it. I do a lot of lathe work and just out grew the little Jet. I hated to let go of the $$ but… you can’t take it with you anyway!!
That little lathe CS has for sale is a steal. I have a guy coming to get my 9X20 tomorrow and I got 4 times that price for it. Of course… he has to come first… but he says he wants it! I done a ton of work on that little lathe. I added a four bolt hold down and a really nice QTC unit and it made a real machine out of it. I almost kept it but I can only run one at a time…. unlike my CNC machines, somebody’s gotta turn the cranks on these!!! Ha!
Thanks CS, This one is the 14 X 40 but there is little difference. I called the folks you are getting yours from but they didn’t have one of these. I really wanted the spider on mine and those folks didn’t have it on theirs so Grizzly won.
I have a cold air unit I think I’ll use and save the mess of the coolant on this one. I hate coolant if it isn’t in an enclosed cabinet. I seldom use anything on aluminum (except for threading) but I work some titanium that sure has to have something or you run through tools like they were butter!!!
Thats a steal for your lathe. I hope you sell it soon… YOU SHOULD!!! Someone could buy that and make another 500 easy.
I know I'll regret this question. No really, I know!
But... how much is shipping to Denmark?
Just a similar machine over here is 750$ (On sale when they have "exhibition models") Then there is the tools. Those alone could be the same amount of cash. And I have a 1500 SQF garage in our new home. I mean - this little thing could get lost in there, the wife may never find it ;-)
EDIT: Just realised it's not for 230 V power... Dang I feel dumb right now. Sorry for the disturbance - I'll go sulk in a corner somewhere now!
