Called in to Gary's place today to pick up some more CA stock for over the Xmas break so I don't run out :rolleyes:
Gary has been getting into his own brand of bandsaws, sanders, tablesaws etc and many would have seen some at the hands on expo a few weeks back. But today I had the pleasure of checking out his new BIG BOY Lathes. Huge cast iron variable speed, reverseable, inboard outboard, 3ph with inverters to suit 240V. What beasts :2tsup: Prices will be a lot lower than the comparable lathes.
He just needs to finish his fine tuning and testing prior to offering them up for sale next year :(. Like showing candy to a small kid. Does give me time to build another turning shed out front though :rolleyes:
Look out Vicmarc, Stubby and other big beasts, GPW has put up some competition :cool:
ps: no connection to GPW, just ongoing happy customer
