I started turning a year or so ago on a mini harbor freight lathe. Despite some of the reviews, I found it to be just like any other tool. If you respect it, do the proper maintenance, and don’t try to treat it like it stole something from you, it has worked flawlessly. I’m now in the process of upgrading to a full size lathe which most I’ve looked at are in the $3000 range. I’ve been curious about the grizzly lathes. I know many people who use their joiners and planers and love them. You’ve given me something to think about. If the company cares enough to recall certain pieces of their machinery for customer safety, that says something.
I agree. I was pleasantly surprised myself. It did take a few months for the new pieces to arrive. However they did let me know that upfront as they were made overseas. I have bought from them in the past and will buy from them again. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
