I am finally going to buy my first lathe. I have read a bunch of threads about the comparisons, support, etc. between Grizzly and eBay sellers, but I can get one of the "MX-210V" class lathes on eBay for a bit over half what the G0768 lathe costs on Grizzly. Sure, the Grizzly comes with a four jaw chuck and a back plate, but those are not all that expensive. I figure I could add those and still save at least $500 and use that for tooling, etc. From the images, aside from the paint job they appear to be very similar, although some of the MX-210V class lathes on eBay have a much larger spindle bore.
My experience in other hobbies tells me to feel the pain once and get over it, but dang, that price delta is pretty large.
Any advice is appreciated.
