Will check the saddle tension clamp. The slide block is tight for sure, jibs tight. Tool post is seated and tight. Thank youNot my idea. Found it on HM. However, here's my thread on it, with full accreditation.
FreeCAD model is uploaded to the HM download area.
G0602/G0752Z Compound Clamp
Looking at the backlog of projects, decided to do this one next. This design is copied from @RJSakowski. Looks like: With RJ's permission (a while ago) I posted the FreeCAD file in Downloads. So if you want the file, download it from there. Started out with a piece of 1x4 A36 steel. Took...
If you are having issues with that small of a cut, there's a problem. Something like a tee nut bur, or something else is loose somewhere. Have you checked the tightness of the saddle tension clamp 222 in the back of the saddle? Or the more obvious slide block 917 in the front of the saddle? Saddle gibs? Compound rest gib? Is screw 208 tool post bolt seated into the tee-nut? There's not that many places it can be...

Grizzly G0602 Lathe Rough Finish
- Thread starter TWS
- Start date
just checked that today. runout was .0003 on my ten thousands indicator.
Turn OFF the lathe and UNPLUG it.
Place your dial indicator in the chuck in such a manner to be able to measure movement of tool post.
Place your tooling in as if you were making chips.
Bring it up to where it is near the indicator.
Place the indicator near the tip of the cutter and keep going until the indicator is midway.
Lock the carriage in place.
Now apply pressure to assorted places and look for movement.
Use a small hammer, no, not to tap it, grap ad hold the head and place the handle against the target.
This will assist in finding things that move.

There is a YouTube video by Clough42 about a problem with his G0602 cross slide. Take a look and see if yours has the same issue. Basically, there was an interference condition with the dovetails. This wouldn’t explain why your lathe changed, though, but something to look at.
Also, I’ve noticed that over tightening the compound hold down bolts can cause the cross slide casting to deform enough to make the gibs looser. I tend to agree that poor rigidity somewhere is contributing to the poor finish.

great idea, i will give it a try, Thanks
Thanks for the video, I will test per the video and see if the issue is with the dovetails
Yes I do, both hand and power feeding
