The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum

I own two web sites.

My personal web site started out as an antique small engine
site. Over time it shifted more to being a model engine building
information site.. It is www.rake60.com

Since misery loves company I started a second web site as a
free public forum for the poor souls with the addiction of
building home machined running model engines.
It is www.homemodelenginemachinist.com

That site is one I'm quite proud of.

Just had a look at your personal website. I do like those small engines. Always good to see someone willing to love and repair them

I just had a look at your site and it looks as if your Grizzly G4000 lathe was made in the same factory as my Hafco AL50GB lathe.
Its painted a different colour and there are a few minor changes but pretty much the same lathe.
I originally was going to buy the AL50GA but was told to wait for the B model as it was coming out of a different factory with higher quality control and since receiving mine and comparing to the AL50GA I can see I made the right choice.

Mine pretty much worked out of the box although as I get more proficient I may find I need to make a few more adjustments.

I will need to do some more research but it looks like accessories that are for the G4000 lathe should fit mine which is nice to know.

Thanks
Tony
