网页2003年5月18日 · The BZ-239 lathe is a 12 x 39 gearhead lathe that costs $2695. I have always thought that Smithy charged a premium for their stuff, but, then, some people think it is worth the price. If I were shopping for a lathe, I think I would look at the Grizzly (you could get the 13 x 40 for that), Enco, WT or even the HF versions for less money.

网页2014年11月3日 · A local fella that I met in a gun shop has a Smithy BZ-239 that he would sell for 1000 asking. I went and looked it over this afternoon. Its a 12" lathe so its a lot smaller than my grizzly, and it is belt drive. I kinda like the lathe, but I know nothing about this machine's reputation. Its an import so that tells me a little.
Smithy Machines-"Good or Bad" - Practical Machinist
网页2002年7月20日 · The one I have is a Midas 1720. Smithy no longer sells this model but grizzly has a very similar machine, the G9729 with a longer bed on the lathe. The biggest shortcoming of the 3 in 1 machines is the constant setting up and breaking down set-ups from lathe to mill or vice versa.

网页2005年1月20日 · I bought a Smithy, but I got the BZ-239 Lathe. not a combo machine. The primary reason was the fact that they have financing.

Will a Smithy or similar multi-machine be good for gunsmiths?
网页2006年11月1日 · Even with the Jet in my shop, I'm seriously thinking about purchasing another lighter bench 13x40 Jet as a back-up/2nd operation lathe for the times when I've got a match-grade barrel dialed in down to the last .0001" in the heavy lathe, but need to make a part or bore a recoil lug before I can finish up the barrel in the heavy machine.
Reorganizing my machine shop... - Practical Machinist
网页My "machine shop" is 8' x 24'. I built and finished it in '92 when I purchased a Smithy Lathe/Mill combo for turning aluminum model car parts. The lathe has been sitting on this home made stand for 22 years. The little tool cart has been there for that lenghth of time also. It's time for thorough cleaning and reorganizing!
Diy motorized powerfeed for small lathe? - Practical Machinist
网页2017年8月16日 · As it sits, the smithy has a 2 in one leadscrew that can engage with the half nut for threading or the worm gear can engage with the keyway notched in the leadscrew for powerfeed. My only issue is that powerfeed requires you to mess with the change gears for speed adjustment, which takes forever on this lathe.

网页2014年3月27日 · Then there's the odd arrangement for the controls (nonstandard for either a proper lathe or a typical mill) and the relatively tiny work envelope. Most 3-in-1s have a tiny "mill table" that doesn't have the room for anything but the smallest parts, and even still doesn't have the room for proper hold-downs or decent vises.

网页2005年2月27日 · At the risk of starting one of the US vs import rant-a-thons, has anyone tried one of the newer Smithy lathe/mills? The older ones were pretty scarey, but the new ones seem to be much improved. I just got the catalogue and the Granite 1340 (13" swing, 40" between centers) doesn't look half bad.
