In terms of technology, Grizzly has equipped the G0632 with a quick-release tailstock, which simplifies the process of adjusting and positioning your workpiece. It also features a 4-position indexing head, which is perfect for creating intricate designs and patterns on your work.

For added safety, the G0632 includes a sturdy handwheel for manual control, ensuring that users can operate the lathe comfortably and securely. Additionally, the lathe's overall design promotes ease of use, making it a great choice for both experienced woodworkers and newcomers.
