I have a Granite 1324 that I bought used on Craigs list about 3 years ago. The previous owner had burned out 2 motors and upgraded the motor and control with a Lenze AC Tech VFD. I've had no issues with it. It is a little light has I downsized from a Hardinge Tool Room Lathe, but a move to smaller quarters forced the downsize. I'm retired now so time is not a factor. I found that switching from lathe to mill to be somewhat of a hassle, so I just bought a G0704 and now the mill on the Granite is pretty much idled. Think about selling it and just buying a nice lathe, but right now it is serving my purposes.
