Gunsmithing Grizzly Mills

[Matabele]

Hi guys,

There is a fair bit of information on Grizzly lathes on this forum and others, and Im considering buying a G0509G Lathe. However there doesn't seem to be too much info on their Mills. Does anyone have any info or feedback on the Grizzly Mills, especially the larger models...and what does the extra $$$$'s for a South Bend get you, are you paying for the name or a better mill?

Any info appreciated, thanks.

I have used only american made tools because thats what most people say to me about machines, get american made machinist tools unless forced to get chinese. (oh and bridgeports are very good mills)

The small grizzly mills are quite shitty. The bigger ones are pretty good.
