Grizzly MC254 Cast Iron Bench Top Wood Lathe, 10-Inch Review

If you're interested in a "training lathe" and want to learn as you go, this is the right machine. It is managebale and forgiving for a beginner. The speeds are relatively easy to set and the lathe is quiet and steady. However, once you get past your "gee I want to turn bowls" stage, the lathe will not be enough. The tool rest is short and achieving depth in bowls can be difficult and hazardous. If you change out the tool rest ( it's compatible with Delta) the increased length, as least for me, caused metal fatigue on the tool rest base and a crack. Thank goodness that replacment parts are cheap and the techies at Grizzly are very helpful ( as is customer service). I have replaced the tool rest base, the belt, the live center and the face plate it came with. All in all, this is a great, affordable place to start learning the ins and outs of a wood lathe.
