2015年6月5日 · Hi, Still hoping for a reply and some input on the Grizzly G0768 8 x 16 lathe. There just isn't much of anything online about this lathe unless I'm looking in all the wrong places.

2015年6月5日 · FWIW: Have had a G0768 for about a year as first metal machine. Found that major limitations are really my experience as the Grizzly unit worked right out of the crate and has been more than I expected. Utube videos mostly complain about initial conditions, and some issues that warranty should cover.

2017年2月28日 · I had a smaller Grizzly 7x mini lathe as my first lathe. I bought it simply because it was actually cheaper at the time to buy the lathe and machine and thread some ball screw ends than it was to pay a local machinist to do them. At the time I had no idea it …

2015年6月5日 · Hi, I am considering the G0768 and see that the Grizzly site and the specs on the lathe and in the manual show it as having a threading range (inch) of 9 TPI - 44 TPI with no 8 TPI. Is this actually the case? The Weiss 210V can do an 8 TPI thread. Have you tried to do an 8 on your Grizzly? Thanks, Doug

2014年12月25日 · G0768 Pros-Seems like the 8X16 might fit my needs a little better-Variable speed-4" chucks included (the 7.5" 4 jaw on the G4000 would be overkill for the size of work I'm planning) Cons-Not much information out there-the cheaper VS controllers sound like a bit of a wild card-~$200 more expensive Any input on my decision would be greatly ...

2014年4月7日 · grizzly lathe 8x16 variable speed lathe G0768 If you have the room, I would recommend you size up to the 10x22. Doesn't have VS, but if you read back on some of the user experience with the cheap VS electronics (like in the Grizzly G0704) you will find numerous complaints of them burning up.

2019年7月14日 · The OEM limit switches on the machine use a microswitch with a ramp, the purpose of the ramp being to trigger the switch but not cause a hard crash if you overshoot for some reason. It is repeatable to around .002". Grizzly uses electric limit switches for the power feed on their G0755 mill which are interesting.

2021年5月3日 · Has anyone come up with a mod to make changing the chuck on the G0768 any easier. If you have one you know a chuck change can be a pain. I’m wanting to change between 3 jaw, 4 jaw and ER40 chucks. If your hands are not steady it can be frustrating. Thanks.

2015年2月1日 · HI Guys. I'm looking for a QCTP for my Grizzly G0768. I've settled on a Bostar wedge type, but am wondering if I should opt for the AXA or the 0XA size. Anyone have experience with the pros and cons of both? I feel like the AXA will be large and in the way compared to the AXA, but...
