This is my ~ 8 month grizzly 4003g lathe review. I have probably 400-420 (nice) hours on this machine. Overall it is a good entry level machine. it does have its quirks and weaknesses, but overall it has been a good addition to my business. hopefully in the near future I can upgrade and supplement it with a 16x60 or 20x80 in machine to tackle larger work. It is not a top notch machine, but it is accessible to a lot of people and manageable to move around. for most hobby work I would suggest a smaller 10x20 machine as those are much more manageable for an inexperienced person to move and quite a bit cheaper.
