Hi, I'm ready to buy my 1st lathe. Threading gun barrels is one of my primary uses for it.
I can buy a new Grizzly G4003G for $3470 delivered or a lightly used Baliegh 13x40 with DRO for $3900.
$3900 is all I can spend for a machine.
Spinldle bore is about the same on both.
The Grizzlyis 12x36 and has the outboard spider and warranty.
The Baliegh is 13x40 and has the DRO and is 4 years old, with all the original parts.
I'm leaning towards the Baliegh. Any reason you would get the Grizzly instead?
Thanks,
JoeC
