G4003G Grizzly 12" x 36" Gunsmith's Lathe with Stand
29 November 2016
The right professional lathe for the right money!
I got my Grizzly G4003G 5 days after I placed the order. UPS freight delivered the machine safely. And right to the garage door as I asked them to. Lift-Gate service is very convenient.
The machine is very heavy (~1000 lbs w/o stand). I bought 2 ton Shop Crane in the Harbor Freight store and used it to put the lathe on the stand. I wasn't able do it alone, so I used help of my friend.
Connecting electricity also proved to be not too difficult. A licensed electrician spent few hours on it.
Be sure to check the oil! In my lathe oil has not been filled at all.
General impression of the operation of the machine:
1. Operation is not very noisy.
2. The axes movement is very smooth and reliable.
3. Cuts thread perfectly.
4. Very conveniently changes machine's forward and reverse directions speed with just one handle, which is in the right place.
5. 3-jaws 6” chuck is perfectly fitted and balanced.
Lathe's manufacturing date is June 2015. The machine has spent more than one year in the warehouse. But it was storaged correctly, the machine is not rusty and works great.
In general, the lathe is very good. I'm happy with it. It is a professional power tool for the affordable price.
I recommend it to anyone who wants to get the right professional lathe for the right money!
Reasonable price. Very silent and stable. I'm using it as a Windows 10 workstation. Easy installation with absolutely no problem. Just need HDD.
