I am looking at the Grizzly tool catalog and I feel like a kid again with the Sears Toy Catalog.
I also understand that the Grizzly tools are made in China. Some where I read that certain Grizzly models were equivalent to other readily available equipment models from Harbor Freight and similar companies.
Right now I am looking at the two smallest models of lathe and mills the mini-lathe and mini-mill. Doe anyone have any experience with these models? Is there another brand equivalent?
I am also looking at the next level lathe the 10x22 model. For the Mill I am not sure what to compare except the price. The G0704 which looks to me like a souped up drill press would be in my price range.
If I go with the next level above the mini will I be able to do the model engine and perhaps other machining work related to my VW hobby.
I appreciate everyones time and guidance. If this is not a proper inquiry please let me know and the moderator can feel free to do what ever is needed.
Thanks,
