Hi
I just joined H-M and I thought it would be good to introduce myself.
I just bought a 1986 Central Machinery lathe: made in Taiwan 900G which seems to be a spitting image of the Grizzly G9249 but with less safety covers!
This lathe is rather old but it shows signs of being well taken care of (the ways are shiny, the sprockets are greasy, etc.)
I have never owned a lathe before (this seemed like a nice start) but I have had many opportunities to use good lathes in the past (particularly a Colchester Master at my workplace for over 10 years).
Really looking forward to following along with the others here as they use their similar machines to learn all the tricks. Your site has already made it easy for me to locate a user's manual (the Grizzly 9249) and a number of other resources and links that I have yet to follow.
Oh, you guys probably want photos...
Unloading from my tilting-deck flatbed.
Space already set aside for it.
