In an apprenticeship now, that is not teaching me much machinework. Run my own business (Indy Gunworks LLC) and am hoping to be a full service gunsmith in the near future, but I need to get the equipment to learn on first. I already have a Index knee mill and am learning on that now. want to start looking into lathes.
i was reccomended this
Grizzly G4003G
but i have always been under the impression that grizzly is cheap chinese stuff. and it doesnt have a DRO which i think will make the learning curve much easier. can it be fitted with one? by me?
what reccomendations would you guys have for a lathe, that has to last me the rest of my career, is semi easy to learn on, and able to hold the tolerances i need for gunsmithing.
