Grizzly G0750G - Basic mods for usability?

[Judd]

This was posted here sometime back and I’m excited about the addition, it was dirt cheap and pretty easy to install. Good luck and congrats on the lathe, the journey begins.

A ton of knowledge here and many are very helpful!

Another note....this is a 7/2017 made G0709 and I don’t have to make gear changes when needing 16/18/24 tpi cuts. The first letter in the codes below is the gear positioning, so F gear positioning gets me 16-56 tpi.

Can you post a picture Joe? Did you witness the compound round itself? Marking that at 90 unfortunately puts the scale largely underneath the slide itself which makes it a PITA to read.

Here is a picture of the compound. It looks like I marked it at 45 degrees.

I can take a picture tomorrow. I can't remember exactly how I did it.
I guess im not sure why the angle of the crown is that important? All of mine are flat. I guess I missed the magazine article.

Here is a picture. It looks like I marked it at 45 degrees. You can see the mark on the right side also. Joe

Looks more like 30° or 60° depending where the angle is coming from.
