Grizzly
G4003G Metal Lathe
After a lot of
shopping for a 12x
metal lathe I decided on the new Grizzly G4003G Gunsmith
Lathe.
I've owned a lot of import machines and
I have to say that the fit and finish on the G4003G is the best
I've owned. The lathe was very well
crated and I had no shipping damage at all. All controls are silky
smooth and backlash is very
minimal. The motor runs very smooth and for a gearhead lathe it is very
quiet. I have been very impressed
and pleased with the G4003G lathe.
I've only had one issue with the G4003G
lathe and this was over the 6" 3-Jaw chuck that was installed on
my new lathe Click
here for the story.
One modification I made to my
G4003G
was the "Cast iron stand with extended base". This is the first import
lathe that I have ever seen that the stand
or base was too tall! I also added an inexpensive coolant system and
DRO.
I've included pictures and details
below.
Thanks,
Steve Bedair
