G0509g 16x40 Drool Thread

Hey! the G0670 is on sale! Just trying to help... :D
 
G0670 has a pressurized oil system for the headstock. I don't know if that makes it quieter or smoother, but it is a feature only found on expensive lathes....and on $200 briggs and Stratton motors....

Many Taiwanese lathes are copies of European and US models. Many Chinese lathes are copies of Taiwanese lathes. To make matters worse, many Taiwanese companies have subsidiaries in China making the same thing. I am sure parts never accidentally get mixed up though.

Some companies even advertise the mix of machine (Chinese base on a bridgeport-style with Taiwanese head).

Is there a reason to run the machine with the cross slide removed to gain the clearance to the saddle for turning?

No, never. Without the cross slide, there would be no way to precisely control the position of the tool bit, so you couldn't turn anything.

Pretty much a useless spec. You are right that Grizzly is very inconsistent with what they mean "Swing over saddle"; on some machines it is the same as swing over bed, or swing over cross slide, or less than the swing over cross slide.

From CT? Not that I'm aware of. Or did this just go right over my head...
 
I know what it is! ;)
 
Ok, I'll play along along. :)

Need pictures of whatever you get though!
 
Charter Oak just deciding to give you free stuff because you have been such a good customer (and flashed dozens of enticing pictures of your mill on this website)?

New marketing idea: give Bill free machinery!
 
Or he's a paid instigator...which are my suspicions :cautious: LOL but seriously yes I think Bill has something inbound, sorry I honestly don't know what it is, it sounds like parts or spare parts.
