Bloo:

My new Grizzly G9247 mini is enroute to RI--I've been a good boy this year. Grizzly's rep said the larger G8691 doesn't have a hole through the spindle whereas the 9247 does have it. I want that for drilling a hole through the center of the plugs. The 9247 will take no longer than a 12-inch stick, but that's plenty. I had wanted the larger capacity and 1/2 hp motor of the 8691, but I want a hole more!

The best price I've seen on a small lathe is the 9247, BTW. The Jet and the Delta are over $200 more for basically the same thing except they have 1/2 hp motors. The best deal I've seen on a lathe is Grizzly's 8691. Now that's a buy, but one with no hole!!!!

I've been making plugs with a big bed sander and am sick of the dust!!
