aircooled posted:Stan, is that your shop in the photos ? Looks like someone besides me likes Grizzly Lathes ! I will be getting an new Grizzly lathe in the near future. The one I have is too small and it's close to being worn out now after nearly daily use for 20 years. I like the gunsmith version............Bruce
I love my Grizzly lathe. Its perfect size for what I do and the community support is amazing. I actually built all the parts a while back to convert the spindle to a D1-3. I just needed a back plate for at least my 3-jaw chuck before installing it all. Now that it has shown up, the conversion is complete. That was the best modification I have done to this thing yet. Now I can turn in reverse and not unscrew the chuck!
