Watched the vid. Looks like a nice lathe especially for the money.
Yes it works well for what we do.  Although I’m not a fan of changing belts to change speed.  Guess I was spoiled with the variable speed Lathe’s.

I've had an Enco 11x24 lathe for almost 40 years now and have used the hell out of it. I bet you'll get the same results from the Grizzly. Are they as good as more expensive stuff,no,but they get the job done 99% of the time for us DIY guys.

My Harbor Freight mini lathe finally gave up on me so I bought a new Grizzly G0602. I love the new lathe but I'm already considering upgrading it to variable speed.

Well guys, things here at work are getting a little more exciting.  A couple of months ago, we pulled the trigger on a TRUMPF TruLaser Tube 7000 Fiber.  This is TRUMPF's flagship tube laser, and the things this machine is capable of are simply amazing.  This little addition will make building notched tube projects much faster, and more accurate as both sides of the tube are cut in the same operation.  Also, cutting with Nitrogen gets rid of the laser oxide that needs to be removed before welding.

Here is a quick video: 

I'll keep you guys posted when the 5 semis come in a couple of months to unload it.

We can import .stp or .iges files and watch it do it's thing.

I've got lots of ideas racing through my head... ;D
