[QUOTE="kolob10, post: 822203, member: 27227"] My daddy always said it was a poor craftsman that blamed his tools. I was a card carrying union member, company man, and business owner. That said, it has nothing to do with the original post, Man said he bought a Grizzly lathe. Don't rain on his parade. I have a Chinese lathe in my garage currently. Prior to that had a South Bend that I wore out over the years. I managed a shop with both American made and off shore lathes. We got what we paid for on each. I vote, pay taxes (bunches), help out my fellow American where ever I can. That being said. If I didn't have a Chinese lathe in the garage, I couldn't afford to own any. Don't tell me about buying a used American lathe - been there done that. If I could have found a good used domestically manufactured lathe for what I paid for the Chinese lathe and it was rebuildable for a decent dollar, I would have bought it. I've seen a few barrels chambered on the Grizzly lathe mentioned and they turned out great. I don't think I would buy one for everyday production use as they are not designed with that in mind I'm sure. You'll enjoy the lathe and the satisfaction of your labor. Had a buddy in Afghanistan many years ago and he said there are gun makers in the desert with no power tools whatsoever still producing weapons for their needs. Imagine that! No managers, no unions, no OSHA, no EPA, etc, etc, Good shooting all! I love America [/QUOTE]
