Tmarks...dude you are awesome thanks for the pics
Oh yes. It makes the typical 12x36 lathes look like toys. When I bought my G0709G, I had been using a Jet GH1440ZX (similarly massive to the G0607). The 12x36 class machines (including my G0709G) felt tiny in comparison. Now a year later, the G0709G seems like a decent size.Tmarks did it look substantially larger than the 12x36 and 14x40 lathes?
What sucks is Bellingham isn't open on the weekends so that means taking off work and dealing with that horrendous traffic.
This machine is 3700# (which is twice the weight of the typical 12x36), so I wouldn't call it "dinky" wrt a 5000# Monarch. Smaller, but not that much smaller.Coolidge, it is dinky, when you consider that old American iron from Pacemaker, Monarch etc would be about 5000 lbs for a 16 x 40, but of course an Old American lathe that size would actually swing 18 or 19.
Maybe someone will break some knobs off the G0670, and you can get one at the tent sale... probably not, though.tmarks yes I saw they are having a tent sale that's only about 6 weeks out, I'm in no big hurry.
