In my constant search for a lathe, I've come across a friend of the family who has gotten out of the woodworking business and wants to help me get started. He sent me a picture of the lathe he would like me to come see. He is VERY knowledgable, however he cannot figure out what brand it is, as most of his industrial equipment was bought directly from a plant overseas (Taiwan?) by him or his brother.
Does anyone recognize this lathe? From my research, it looks exactly like a Grizzly, but he insists it is not. The appearance is much like the Grizzly 1495, but instead of a 3/4HP motor, this one has a 2HP motor, and the RPM range is much wider than the stated range for the Grizzly. Any ideas? Just curious...
Thanks
