*As usual, Wen puts out an excellent **MyBest.Tools** well made product at a very reasonable price. Cast iron, portable, table top lathe. Pen turning with ease. An excellent purchase.*
I enjoyed hearing you talk with enthusiasm about your lathe. I have looked for a year at little, big and used because of your discount code I bought the g7766 got it put together today and you are right it is massive.. thank you mike
I am sure you will enjoy your lathe for a long time. Just a tip, use a mallet when hammering in a drive center not a steel hammer which will mushroom the end over time,
I'm glad you called this an unboxing and impressions and not a review, I respect that
I just received my Grizzly G0462 Lathe last week and am waiting for the delivery of my G0513X2 today. I removed the Head piece off of the Lathe, added the legs to the Base Rails and then reinstalled the Head piece. Your Lathe is heavier so that might not worked as easy for you. Can't wait to get everything set up. I have Oak lumber drying for almost two years in my backyard that I am going to build things out of. Woodworking is an Addiction.
I'm just a wee bit jealous. No, strike that. *VERY* jealous!
Omg I just got the same lathe and I’m so excited to start playing around with it. Hooping up power today and off we go.
It’s crazy how expensive this lathe is now. When I bought mine it had just come out and they had a 15% off discount for military and Veteran’s. Got my lathe for $1400. It’s been a great lathe. I only regret I never got a hold of their G0800 before it was discontinued
Thank you for this. Just got my grizzly 0733 today and wanted to see a test run. Still need to assemble mine (as we had to take it apart to get it in the basement) tomorrow. After watching this,
I can hardly wait to try mine out. I have upgraded from an old craftsman lathe.
For anyone interested in this machine I am picking mine up tomorrow and for your info Grizzly is still honoring her 10% discount code,Thank You for the review and the discount!
Very informative video. Thanks. I used your discount code and got 10% off on a G0766 just like yours. Gonna pick it up tomorrow. I bet I enjoy it as much as you enjoyed yours. Thanks for the code!
I am envious to say the least. That is a wonderful lath and well built. I just unloaded a new band saw from Grizzly. It too is massively heavy. I am just now trying to finish up the tuning of the saw platform and blade. I am giddy about using it. You have a great shop, and I am happy for you. Have fun.
WOW!! Linn congratulations! Grizzly is a great company and stands behind their products. I just bought their mini track saw with a 6" blade for my smaller projects and just love it. I so would love to have a lathe that I could turn large bowls on, so I can't wait to see what you can produce on that size lathe. Have fun!!
Good to hear! I've been look at their track saw myself.
@@darbinorvar do you still have this lathe and love it? I am looking to upgrade to a full sized model and wonder if this is the lathe for me.
@@mikethompson9745 I still have the lathe have been impressed with it.
I hope you like it.. I have bought from grizzly since 1984.. great products.. 3 years ago I made my own lathe.. it is variable speed bowl lathe..weighs in at 450 pounds.. the inverter take single phase in and inverts out-triple phase.. triple phase can be tuned to variable speed.. single phase can not.. my lathe accepts up to 38 inches in diameter.. much fun..
Wish I could figure out how to show a picture here... but it’s a beast..
My cost for my lathe about 700$. It’s just great..most expensive part was the inverter at 190$. But buying grizzly is smart.. 90% of all big woodworking tools are made in China...they are well made and their precision is beyond what powematic used to make here..now since 1988 most major manufacturers in the us have their tools made in China and then hang big prices on them., I love grizzly much..
I hope you have better luck than I did. I had two. Both were failures. I ended up sending it back and bought a Laguna instead.
Way to go Girl! you will have lots and lots of fun on this lathe. Congrats on the sponsorship from Grizzly - they make some fine equipment. Remember "Woodturning 101" with Carl?
Congrats, I have a G0800 and really like it, had it for about 3 years and turn something almost everyday. I selected mine because of the shape of the headstock. I felt like the square shape as you have would limit my ability to turn from the headstock end. it's all about what you get used to. Have fun with your little lathe, lol. Take care, Larry
You can slide the power head all the way to the right and turn much larger diameter things like bowls and platters. You would just need a heavy stand for a tool rest.
The way you folks handled the lathe to get the legs on is exactly how professional machinery and building movers accomplish the same thing when they need to raise an item. WELL DONE!
Large platters sound like a lot of fun!
@@darbinorvar To be honest, I have NEVER turned a single piece of wood. I like watching the videos of those that do.
My expertise is in mechanics and metal fabrication.
Oh, I didn't watch your videos more than a year! In such hands this lathe will work a century!
Glad to see Grizzly hooking you up! I have quite a bit of Grizzly equipment and have no complaints. Good for you girl!!
Very nice lathe. I always use a rawhide mallet to set the drive. I notice that your left hand is UP on the tool, rather than DOWN--not sure why but I'd think having your left hand down on top of the gouge is safer. I have a Conover (no longer in business) lathe with an 8-foot bed. My bed is two poplar planks, held by two heavy cast iron legs. The legs have a place to install a shelf, where you can put sand bags or store wood to gain extra weight and stability. The reverse switch on the DC motor is great when you are finishing up or polishing a project. Warning! Turning can be very addictive--you think a half hour passed but really it was 4 hours!
Can’t wait for the project videos with your new toys
Very beautiful Linn. The new shop is really coming together!!
All the best to you and your family,
Norm in AZ
Love your new shop, nice review keep them coming
Love it. I have a large wood planer, and am now wanting a lathe. Doesn’t have to be that big. But would be cool if it was. Perfect for making table legs.
Yes!
A few years ago I bought a Grizzly 72 inch belt grinder, the knife maker model. I've been very pleased with it and found it to be good quality at a decent price point. The only anmnoying thing was the set up. Everything comes packed with heavy grease to prevent rust which was annoying to get rid of. The assembly was pretty straightforward but you definitely needed to read the manual.
Good to hear!
You will have lots of fun with that lathe. I bought the same model two years ago and love it. Happy turning!
Awesome!
That's a very nice piece of equipment you have there Linn , the machine lathe you have opted for will probably take care of almost everything that I can think of that would be considered household objects , I didn't know those machines were that heavy, good idea with the blocks picking it up .
Look forward to seeing you in the next video.
Glad to see a window in your new(ish) garage. I always kept meaning to say you should think about having as much outside and natural views as possible. I am probably wrong but i suspect you are like myself, i love working in the enviroment outdoors. If this is the case a future project could be to build a canopy on the garage and have some tools on wheels to work in the air?
it an awesome gift for an wood worker man or woman nice to see you again
You need a engine hoist or A frame to help with these things around your shop.
With all the new toys you are getting for your new shop, you need to get a portable gantry style crane, or even an engine lift (they are cheap). Maybe a pallet jack as well.
Would be useful!
You will love the lathe and will create many beautiful things.
Just got mine it is big and thank you for the 10% off hope you still like yrs
That is one solid piece of machinery! Having confidence in your tools is so important. Can't wait to see what you make with it.
Where there is a will, there is a way, and you were getting that lathe up on the stands. Love your work. Keep it coming and the Likes will come from this loyal subscriber. I've been very impressed with your work since one of your older videos and you needed to flatten a table top (I think it was) you'd glued up. You grabbed your plane and went to it! You are a Maker.
I have this one and it's a great lathe except one thing don't use the stop pin in the hole to hold the spindle for changing chucks or anything else if you do the casting around the holes will break it is very weak in this area. Mine broke and I had to take it to a machine shop to have it fixed. So take care with this so it don't happen to you...
Hi Darby, first I want to say I enjoy watching your videos, great information from the many years following you. My question is I was an avid wood turner for some years ago but had gotten away from it do to my wood shop at the time was very small 11’ by 11’. So I had to give it up for room, but now I have a bigger shop now and want to get back into wood turning. I then remembered when you did this video on your grizzly lathe. Now to the point since you have owned your grizzly lathe how has it been for you were there any issues. I am looking at a few lathe’s now laguna, powermatic, and grizzly G0766 trying to figure out which to get. I do like grizzly products which I have bought quite a few. Thank you again for your videos, great information.
9 months in, how are you enjoying the Lathe? A couple of weeks ago I took delivery of a Laguna REvo 24/36 which from the looks of yours is a comparable machine, with similar leg size, weight and casting, even the Bed Stops look the same. I'm planing on doing a review video after I've used mine for a little while to give me time to find things I think can or should be improved.
I’m very jealous.... aahhhhhhhhhhhh hope to see lots of videos including like epoxy resin turning etc so exciting I can’t wait to see you create
I've got a couple of ideas in that direction :)
When i have to move my grizzly lathe i just take off the head unit. That makes it a lot easier to move around. Just something to think about the next time you have to move it.
Good point!
That is a substantial discount. Wish I was in the market for a lathe.
Because of its capabilities vs cost (very capable with lower cost) this lathe is on my short list. Have fun!
You might compare the Powermatic 4224b features.
Good work! Skew chiesel is the best :) How many catches did you get?: ))) Regards!
A couple....
Hi Linn - So glad to see the lathe in the shop. I expect to see more great projects. Bowls, vases, pens, table legs and more !!!
Lin-- WTG Gal! Nice to see you move on this. I can not stress the best info' I was given is to "Go take a class in learning to use it-- safely." Well worth the money I paid. I learned a lot about shop safety and how to use the tools on the lathe properly. Especially if you think you're bitten by the bowl turning bug.
Thanks for the coupon code! I ordered one today!!! Cant wait to get it
I tried moving a ~800 pound metal lathe into a trailer once, by myself! lol, I could only get half of it in. I had to get a body builder to lift the heavy end, for us to load it!
Congratulations! I'm looking at getting this one myself. Best of luck to you.
I like the lathe, probably want to use a wooden mallet to drive the spur drive?
I was looking forward to see this video it came out nice.. I want to lean more about turning as it seem like a great tool to have on your belt. I like you had I have a small lathe, but I feel I need to learn more before I jump up to a bigger lathe. Look forward to seeing what else you are doing with it. I will say you are a very clever young lady. I am also glad the move from OR to VA worked out for you both all the best Lin.,
A bowl would be amazing, time to give Frank Howarth some competition :)
when you unbox , try taking the motor and head stock off, then put the rails on and mount the power head back on , it only weighs a few hundred pounds, and two people can easily lift it.
Congratulations! Will you now have to run a project to build a storage cabinet to store the lathe tools, on the wall behind the lathe? :-)
Haven't decided exactly what yet...
Oh what fun! I can just imagine what you can do on that, I love new equipment/tools and to practise and see things emerge from raw material (wood)
Looks like a fairly heavy strong unit, buy yourself a engine hoist, I use mine all the time and it has never lifted an engine
LINN !!! So wonderful. Keep the wood shaving as I am going to move into your shop and I can use those for bedding. I love making wood shavings and saw dust. I need to go now as I am afraid I will short out my keyboard from drooling. Super cool....
Super excited for you. I have a feeling you’re going to love the lathe.
Now you can get a cnc conversion for your lathe congraulations!!!
Darbin, nice addition to your shop.I have a big lathe and its nice to have plenty of turning space.
You have the coolest toys!👍 Thank you for using protection over your face. I was chiseling, sanding and sawing damp trees in my garage with no respirator or face protection. Bad idea. I now have 3 cm fungal balls/masses/aspergillomas of aspergillus fumigatus in my lungs as a result, I am a very sick girl, this can be fatal. Aspergillus and many fungus types live in wood, please, be very, very careful working with wood, I may or may not get better docs don't know how to really treat it because drugs don't really work. Have fun and be safe! Congrats on your new toy!!!👍👏😁
Sorry to hear that! I hope it clears up :(
Learning the skew is definitely a different skill. Can be very challenging and a bit scary at first when you get those grabs! I love the skew, but you gotta stay very focused. Hope you master it soon.
Your videos make me want to get up and work on stuff! Thank you!
Sadly UA-cam algorithm doesn’t appreciate when I stop binging UA-cam. No matter how many of your videos I like, you haven’t showed up on my feed for months. Maybe leaving this comment will help.
Linn, you can actually turn larger than that 22 inch rating, by moving the motor head down to the extreme right and removing the tail stock. Then you can turn off of the end of the lathe, up to the distance from the floor to the spindle center. You would have to get a tool holder on a tripod or stand to do it, but it could be done. Jon
Need the code for the 20% off
I am so jealous!! Love the music you added to the video.
Buttons are so important! I was going to buy a fancy Bosch tool recently but when I tried it in the shop it had a horrible smushy membrane switch and it completely put me off.
You guys did such a nice job finding that property. Everything seems perfect from your main shop and your smaller shop/office, acreage.
Plus Virginia. It's all really starting to pay off.
It has been really nice!
Nice heavy lathe. It should be very stable. As an Australian the piece of timber looks like a green piece of eucalyptus, maybe spotted gum, am I right or dreaming? Well done with jacking it up into position.
I thought it might be poplar? Not quite sure...
Me neither Linn, just guessing.
That’s awesome! That thing is huge!
Congrats! That is a beautiful machine!
YOUR LATHE HAS GRIZZLY STICKERS ON IT AND MY NEW ONE LOOKS IDENTICAL EXCEPT THE STICKERS
22" x 44"? 👍
So you upgraded from a mini to a small. 😎
I looked for the CNC lathe video I seen a while back.
The dude had a full length tree on it and was turning a pillar. That's what I call massive.
As impressive as that CNC lathe may be, it's just as impressive what people hand turn with traditional lathes.
Congratulations! on the new lathe Linn! Thank you for sharing the video with us.👌👍😎JP
It looks like the head will slide down to the end if you remove the tail stock which means you could turn a big bowl or plate off the end at more than 22". Is that right?
Jeff Trag where would the banjo/toolrest go?
@@DerekCadmus Just make a free standing tool rest with a heavy base. That is no problem.
You could! And yes... build some sort of additional tool rest.
Kudos Linn. Come a ways since you and Darwin were knocking stuff together in your backyard in Oregon. You have moved to Virginia, with a compound of workshops and a now walking rugrat. But the measure of your progress is your sponsors. I've not met Grizzly in Aust., but it looks the job. My 40 years on the tools tells me that the sexier the tools, the better they work. That lathe does substantial, layout, features and finish rather well. How many followers to get Festool on board? Quite thrilling to watch. Thankyou.
You look like you are enjoying that new equipment a lot , good for you . be well .
I don't know a lot about wood lathes, but I do know metal lathes. They need to be leveled very precisely. Do wood lathes need as much precision in the set up? Just wondering. Thank you.
It didn't need much set up.
It is a fan. I saw you and started woodworking. I started UA-cam too.
That is a very nice lathe, I can't wait to see all the things that you will make with it!!! Awesome!!! :)
The very first video of yours I watched was you turning the Baseball bat. I wanted to turn one for my brother and I've been a subscriber ever since.
Haha - that was a while ago now!
A nice wood lathe, it must also be heavy or it will vibrate.
My son also does woodturning as a hobby.
If the tail stock was removed, could the head be moved to the end and used to make a larger table top or platter larger than the 22"?
Your tips is very helpful.
Great lathe choice!! that will be my next lathe. Grizzly makes high quality tools at a great price.
Linn, I love your channel and Ive probably watched this unboxing video 10 times. I'm trying to decide between a Revo or the Grizzly G0766. I got gun shy a few weeks ago on the 766 because of reviews and videos that purport vibration issues and medium speeds. The DVR shuts it down almost immediately (from what ive heard in the complaints) when the vibration occurs. Have you had any issues with the 766? Thank you for any help and again, your channel is awesome.
Thanks for watching! Haven't had any issues.
Really cool Linn! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks Fred!
Ouah ! Quel superbe matériel, je suis trop jaloux. De plus Darbin est toujours aussi charmante.
Wait wait, I'm all confused. How did you get it to its final position after assembling it? You commented on how it wouldn't budge, but then moved it.
I think they moved the whole house & workshop - probably easier than moving the lathe! :D
Exactly.
Greetings, I just saw the unboxing video of your G0766. Now since you’ve had it a year what are your thoughts, I am considering it for my shop. Thank you.
I am thinking really hard about this lathe also.
you won't go wrong with Grizzly products. They heavily built and solid.
you could use your new lathe to make custom handles for all of your lathe chisels
Holy cow. I'm not going to lie I'm definitely jelly 😋
I love watching your videos.
Does it come with what's needed to start right off or did you have to order a separate chuck?
Felicitaciones!!! Seguramente harás cosas geniales con tu nueva herramienta!.
I believe you’re booing to really like bowl turning. Just remember that the spinal roughing gouge and the skew are not used on bowls. Happy turning! Watch some CPT Eddy you tube videos. 😊
Congratulations on the partnership and new tools! I quickly outgrew my HF mini lathe and have been debating the Revo. Turning became my passion and I think you're going to have a LOT of fun with that Grizzly. Particularly as you learn to use conventional gouges -- you're already a pro with other hand tools. Don't forget the wealth of knowledge available from Stuart Batty on Vemo; Mike Waldt; Tim Yoder; Brendan Stemp; et al on YT. Maybe you could bring Carl cross-country for another collab!
I'm struggling with the same decision about the REVO myself. I have always been a grizzly guy and I have admired the 766 for some time, but I have read a few reviews and watched some videos with complaints about turning it on and vibration issues at medium speeds (900-1200 mostly). That has me leaning toward the Laguna but I'd still really rather stay with Grizzly.
I wants, I WANTS IT! I've been in the process of making my own, i have a 12 sanding disk i love on one end that i use but i can't afford a chuck for the lathe part :( 2 years of wondering if i could make my own chuck but often i decide it would be too risky.
Great video, Linn. Lots of facts about this lathe. Nice one to have in your new shop. Looking forward to your future creations on it. :
Great video. If you're thinking of turning some bowls, take a look at Stuart Batty's/Ashley Harwood's demos and it will change your turning forever. All the best.
