Is this a gap bed Griz? G4003

Doesn't this look like a gap bed to you? Funny they don't mention it in any of the online advertising.
Doesn't seem to be in the manual either.
Not that I was planning to buy one, but it seems odd they wouldn't mention it
Couple of their other models- same thing- looks like it's there but not mentioned
Any of you have one of these? Inquiring minds want to know...

I see the gap.

Sure, note the break in the gear drive gear bolted to the bed...

I've often wondered how many of us have ever taken the filler section out of our gap bed lathes.
I haven't on my 1440.

I never have needed to remove mine either on my 1440. It always looked to me like it wouldn't accommodate anything too thick. Maybe a flywheel or large rotor that should be ground anyway. I do see the gap on the one in the picture though
