View source for Grizzly G0509G Lathe


Asmbly has recently acquired a Grizzly G0509G 16x40 lathe.  It's equipped with a 4HP main motor with 16 spindle speeds, a micrometer stop, a spider to stabilize long stock through the spindle bore, a recirculating coolant system, and a fully universal gearbox so you can cut the full range of Imperial, metric, modular, and diametrical threads without fidgeting change gears.
