Grizzly G5963 30 by 60-Inch Lathe Review

This is a nice, sturdy, little surface grinder for the home shop machinist, or machine shop that needs an economical surface grinder.
With the magnetic chuck added, and freight costs, the whole setup cost about $2000.
Not bad for a new surface grinder.
It was shipped via UPS Freight.
Remember to request "LIFT-GATE DELIVERY" if you are having this shipped to your home. It will be delivered with an 18 wheeler.
The driver will lower it, and move it with a pallet-jack for you, but that's it.
You will need an engine hoist to place the grinder on top of the stand.
IT IS HEAVY (600 Lbs.).
There is a 50Lb. counterweight that sits in the column, and is attached to the grinder motor-mount by a 3mm cable.
When I unpacked my grinder, this cable was broken. But Grizzly sent a new one, and the repair was simple.
Grizzly customer service was excellent.
The table rests by gravity on one vee way, and one flat way.
The only drawback is that the grinder is "Left-Handed", whereas the downfeed, and infeed are on the left hand side and table traverse is on the right.
This is completely opposite of most standard surface grinders.
It's not a big deal to overcome, but a bit awkward at first.
First I ground the magnet flat, (it was only .0015 out), then ground a test piece of heat-treated A2 Tool Steel.
The finish was excellent. Overall flatness and parallelism was within .0002.
You may want to order a quality NORTON grinding wheel like I did. I didn't like the looks (or trust) the cheapie Chicom wheel that came with it.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this grinder to any small-scale machining outfit. It was well worth the money.
Happy Grinding!
