Two Lathes for 'smithing...Griz or Smithy

[sailhertoo]

Hi all

Got to buy a Lathe. Looking at two to pick from and just wanted to know if any one here has one or the other they would recommend.
One is a Smithy and one is the Grizzly 40".

Here are some links

go griz, ive done about 500 barrels off mine without a hitch and they are all very accurate.

Buy the Smithy and soon afterwards you'll wish you had bought the Grizzly......

Well, did you ever get it and is it all you were hoping for?

Yep. I got it and have chambered 5 barrels so far. I really like it, no complaints.

Its amazing the stuff you can do with a lathe. Now I got to save up for a mill!
