Review on Grizzly Industrial G0768-8 Variable-Speed 16" Benchtop Lathe - Professional Quality Results! by Jahan Arias
Great beginner machine
Great beginner machine! I am a beginner. variable speed is great when learning. Just big enough not to be a toy. down sides, 1 horse power is minimum for any real workhorse. this is only 3/4 hp. The center hole in the lathe is just under 1 inch. I would perfer at least an inch to 1 1/8tth. these are the only draw backs I have found. when I learn more, I will up grade to a slightly larger machine. Larger chuck and higher horse power. Variable speed is nice but not a necessity when you gain the knowledge.
- Specifications: Swing over: bed 8-1/4", cross slide 4-5/8"
- Despite being marketed as "benchtop," this lathe is still quite large and cumbersome to move around, making it difficult to store or transport if you have limited space in your workshop or garage
