I got my nephew to help and we just picked it up off the floor and set it on the bench. All you need is an extra set of hands.

Hoss, I understand the drain in the pan but I was wondering how you drain the T-slot table your vice is sitting on. Mine has about a 3/8" hole on the right side with a hose barb screwed into it to...

Hey Hoss I have a question about your coolant system. How do you drain the coolant from the table?

I have a flood coolant system that I installed but I'm going to be running it on low just to keep...

Thanks, I may have to give this one a try.

Awesome work on the lathe cornbinder23. I have a G0602 that I'm keeping manual and I was wondering where you got the quick release handle for the tailstock?

Hi gumba, what do you think of the lathemaster power feed? I was looking at one for my G0704 mill but I wasn't for sure how I'd like it. Most of the power feeds I've seen use a handle for back and...

Thanks for the input guys. I ended up going with a flood coolant system and an 8" rotary table with 6" chuck. I think I'm going to wait and see what type of power feed that Grizzly will be offering...

I just got my G0704 Wednesday and need recommendations for accessories.

It's going to stay a manual mill for prototyping but I need a power feed for it. Grizzly has one listed on their site but...

Thanks for all the help guys. It certainly sounds like you all are happy with your ZX45.

mattmark, I'll be cutting anything from CPM 154 stainless steel to 7075T6 aluminum. Might even cut a little...

Hi guys,

Maybe ya'll can help me out. I've been on the waiting list forever for a G0704 mill and it started out as being available March 21st, then May 20th and now 6 to 8 weeks which would be...

I ordered a G0704 and would be interested in hearing which DRO is better as well. I'm also interested in how the power feed works. I wish they would put a picture of it on their website.

Are you talking about the 2 spindle oil balls on top of the headstock? How do you pack them with grease? Will a hand oiler filled with grease work? Will while lithium grease work for the spindle?

Thanks Hoss.

Yeah I got that same oil bottle with the tool kit. I just wasn't sure how it worked with the ball oilers. I guess just press it down and squeeze.

So what brand and type oil are you...

Well I got my new G0602 lathe, cleaned it up and broke it in. Now I need to change the gear oil and get everything lubed up properly.

In the manual it says to use Mobil 1 DTE heavy medium oil for...

Thanks man, I'll pick some up and replace them when I tear everything down to clean it. Might as well take care of those types of things now and not have to worry about it later.

latherunner, it's just the opposite for me. I'll have the machine before my tooling gets here. It's suppose to come in today but the tooling wont be in for about a week. I guess it'll at least give...

Thanks for taking the time to lay it all out for me. That's a ton of info and exactly what I was looking for.

I didn't realize there were so many choices on cutting tools and inserts. It's gonna...

Hoss, I went ahead and picked up the 6 pc inspection kit that you recommended. I had forgotten the measuring tools in my excitement to get started. lol I'll also pick up some HHS blanks and try my...

Hi guys, I've been reading on here for awhile and decided on getting the G0602 lathe from Grizzly. It seems like a nice machine and the best bang for the buck. I'm suppose to get it Tuesday so I...
