Looking for a lathe to cut metric threads on. With a 1 1/2" bore. I have 4 16" lathes and one 18" lathe. The 18" is the only one with a 1 1/2 bore. That Lodge & Shipley does not do metric. 12" is the size I would like. Really do not have room for another 12' hunk of American iron. So it seems I have to go import. I was looking at the Grizzly G0750G. It seems to fit the bill. But I notice around 2013 on different websites. Alot of guys talking about problems with them. But I have not found any newer comments. Any G0750G owners out there? Or other 12 x 36 owners? Would like to here some ideas. Thank you.
