Two new lathe models

Roger Chandler

For those who might have an interest.....in the new Grizzly catalog there are two new lathe models offered. A 20" swing, 2 hp model G0799, and a 3 hp, 24" swing model G0800.

Seems there are numerous features including swing away tailstock mechanism, bed extensions, cage guard, comparator and other features. They resemble the Revo lineup from Laguna, but seem to have A/C motor/inverter combos on them, which if they are like the ones on the G0766 22/42, they are from Delta Electronics. I have not gotten my catalog yet, but another poster has, and he posted a pic of the page out of the catalog over on SMC. the price seems to be about twice the amount g0766.

I just received the 2016 catalog.

The new models are a lot more expensive than the other Grizzly wood lathes.

The G0799 is $3195 20in x 48in bed, 2HP motor

The G0800 is $3395 24in x 48in bed, 3HP motor.

Freight on both is $355.

Now that Grizzly closed the PA showroom I would have to mail order a sight-unseen machine. Too expensive for me. Getting close to the price of a Powermatic 3520B which is a well known machine.

I do not know how much these models share with the Laguna REVO models, other than black paint.

I was recently looking to purchase a new lathe and I stopped at the Woodcraft store. The Laguna is a very nice lathe. Same Delta inverter as Jet and Powermatic. The bed is polished steel instead of cast iron. Runs extremely smooth and quite. I just received my Grizzly catalog and saw the new Laguna clones. They are exact copies of the Laguna. The Grizzly comes with a swing away tailstock attachment and a guard. Theses items are additional on the Laguna models. I purchased an used PM3520B. But the Laguna was tempting.
