I wish someone would comment on this lathe. It looks well made, well equipped, and the price is excellent. Does anyone have experience with this?

i just got mine, but have not got it up and running yet. to date the only issue i have with it is that it come with the T-wrench for the 4 way tool post but is equipped with a quick change tool post so you need a 27mm wrench which it does not come with. i'll update this once i get power to it and get it running.

What is the distance between centers ?

36” minus the lengths of the chuck and whatever ie in the tailstock.

Whats the difference between this model and the G0750G!

Differences are pretty minor for me. Check out hobby-machinist site under g4993g-vs-g0750g-machines for details. I am very happy with my G4093g.

Very pleased

I have had my new G4003G lathe for about 1 month. very pleased. Vibration is extremely low. (I anchored the base to my garage floor.) Minor complaints - grizzly should have put an oil drain valve on the headstock for draining the oil. very messy with the plug provided. I will add a small valve the next time I change the oil. Shipping containers were OK, but some scraping of paint. Grizzly sent me some touch up paint. Tailstock quill moves 4" but you only get say 21/2" of drill excursion because of the extraction mechanism. All in all, strongly recommend.

Nice piece of equipment

This is a very nice lathe, I have had it for a few months now and am still learning how to use it, I have been fabricating items all my life so I finally decided to break down and buy this thing, I now wish I had purchased it 50 years ago, It's so much better and easier to use the proper equipment when repairing and fabricating parts. This is a great product and the service is excellent, I ended up unable to work for a couple of months after I ordered it, and customer relations called about once a week for about 2 1/2 months to see how I was doing. Next Item on the agenda is going to be a Milling Machine and I will probably be checking with Grizzly to purchase.
