That's my 12x36 Grizzly...it's been a good lathe, I'm surprised how much I use it. I've been on the lookout for a mill, the price on this one made it impossible to say no.
What's on your bench

Not really on my bench; just in the garage. Snap On 40th Anniversary Corvette limited edition box (missing Corvette placards). Picked it up at a good price; need to clean up and then will sell to fund my F350 project.
cool. did this old MAC Tools box to keep my machining tools in. someone had done a really bad rattle can job on it.
thinking about painting this one.
Damn, that's nice! I'm a big fan of Boeshield, too.
Looks like it would benefit from a fresh coat of paint. I had one of those boxes years ago, but got rid of it when I reconfigured my garage and stepped up to some Homak RS Pro boxes.

Working on a Holzfforma 372XT today which is a copy of the Husky 372 X-torq. Why anyone would buy a strarocharged clone is beyond me, but anyway. Customer/friend bought it after me telling him how much I like the standard 372 clones I have. He said he’s only put about a tank of gas through it, and it runs like crap. Told him I would look at it, and he said he didn’t want me to look at it, he wanted me to have it.
Fired it up and right off the bat I noticed it was only revving to about 70%. I noticed that the throttle cable didn’t look like it was routed right, but when I tried to correct it, it popped off inside the handle so now I get to tear into it further.

It easily jumps off the track at the throttle trigger, it might not be necessary to pull it apart all that much.
Perhaps try the throttle lever directly at the carb with your finger when it runs.
It's never a waste of time to dismantle something though - as long as you put it back together again.

I’ve never pulled the gas tank off of a 372 before. Is there supposed to be some kind of bigger bushing in the recess in the tank that the end of this screw goes into?
Screw just sits in there to limit movement on the AV

Turns out the plastic around the throttle cable was all bunched up and broken at one end I ordered a new throttle cable for it and we will see how it does when it shows up.

I have my 10mm pin 044 apart and deciding on whether i want to put a Meteor jug and piston kit on it and send it. Or look for an OEM piston and rings and clean up the stock jug. There is not aluminum transfer on the cylinder, but the piston has some decent scratches on it. Oooorrrr.... maybe it just needs rings? I'm not sure which route I wanna go. This was my main falling saw from the early 2000's and has seen a lot of combat over the years. It was always cared for and maintained. Its just wore out and need a top end freshen up. I was a tad suprised at the scratches on the piston on the intake side.
Anyways... it's now pretty much a shop queen and only comes out for the "big stuff" around here. But after falling a pretty dang big Douggie last weekend, she was lacking power where she used to not lack power. So it's time to extend the service life on the ol' girl.

Id be temped to get a 12mm crank and do a 46 top end on it.
If it were mine id use a brake hone wrapped with green Scotch Brite run it in the cylinder for awhile to make sure its good n cleaned out.
Then just toss a Meteor piston in it.
My 44 is currently in Phase 3
Phase one was stock logger saw, Phase 2 44/064 screw up and now 44/46 hopefully not a flop.
Its a mix of oem with not oem parts.

Some non-chainsaw related content from me. It looks like at least a couple weeks of crappy weather out here, so I figure it's a good time to grease some bearings on the Beta 300.

Good to see another trail bike.
Just did a full top end on mine.
