[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1308859, member: 78569"] I bought the PM1236 last year. If I could have afforded more, I would have gotten then next size up. However, other than profuse leaking, which make-your-own-gasket material fixed up, I haven't had any issues. Customer service is superb and Matt knows everything about his equipment. I doubt the Grizzly lathes are much different as most of the lathes come out of the same factories, just with different features. I wouldn't mind a larger motor to hog out more material, so I just keep more stock sizes available. I didn't think I would use the coolant system but it really makes parting a breeze. Other features like foot break, roller bearings for steady rest, DRO just make life a bit easier but by no means are required to do good and accurate work. Get good indicators and tools. [/QUOTE]
