$1781 is extremely good price. you will likely pay more for very worn equipment from a shop

Sounds a good deal to me either.

When I taught high school shop I had the Grizzly 3 in 1. It was a good machine, but like any multiprocess piece of shop equipment, it did each process ok but not great. Small non-ferrous or poly jobs is where is really excelled.

I'm just going to say this, for 1781 bucks, don't expect it to do much of anything accurately or reliably.

Like I said "it caught my eye"

Not saying I'd buy it.. but definitely fishing for opinions/options for a hobby/diyer.

Something I could reliably run .001" tolerance with carbon steel be it hot/cold.
