On behalf of the membership, I am pleased to post news that the membership approved purchase of a brand-new Grizzly13" x 40" Engine Lathe with DRO has happened. Exact timing details will follow, but expect it to arrive in early June. It will be a challenge to receive and rig in this new tool, but we will find a way. In the meantime, here are some links for your pre-arrival reading pleasure.
We have an indexable carbide set btw! I found it in the dirty room last week so we’re covered there.
Do you think the feet are going to mark the floor? I’ve looked around a bit and unfortunately I can not find a picture of the feet!
A live center would be nice so feel free to add that. I think we should talk about the way oil and coolant a bit though, I’ll send you an email tomorrow. Seems like there are a handful of different opinions out there on those two items.
