Maybe making a move into the 21st century

I have my G4003G for four years now. I just love the machine. Coming off a back geared Logan, I first thought that a 70 rpm minimum speed was to fast but by the time I got good enough to build a speed reducer I got good enough to not need one.

I have the g4002. Ive had it one year and some change, and I have not one complaint. One small thing: I wish it had a t slotted cross slide, and a smaller hole in the faceplate. Means nothing. Barring any catastrophic failures, I don’t think I’ll ever get a different lathe. I really can’t recommend it highly enough. I’m very happy with it. FWIW, I don’t really see anything special about the “gunsmith” upgrade. But I’m also not a gunsmith, so why would I? Ha!
