If you buy 2 tools from Grizzly you can apply for a discount ( little known fact). The Taiwan made G0670 1640 I bought a few months back is pretty nice, 3000 lbs, VS to 2500 in 2 ranges, CSS, power oil pump to headstock gears, its triple v ways like the southbends, likely made in same factory, Tasakawa FD, 5HP. Its not a Monarch or Pacemaker but it will do what I need it to and can remove a lot of metal in hurry with either positive or negative rake tooling. I can hold 1 to 2 tenths on small diameters. I bought a cheap woodworking sander to fill the 2 tool quota, worked out the sander was free plus saved a hundred or so on lathe. I would do it again.
