I've had my G4003G for a couple weeks now and just discovered something. When I move the compound slide away from me as far as it will go it exposes the compound lead screw. I don't have experience with a lot of lathe's but I have worked with a few and everyone I have ever worked with had a plate over that area that protected it from chips and other nasty things that could get in there if you were doing work with it exposed. I called Grizzly about it and the real nice guy I talked to said the G4003G didn't come with this protective cover. I checked my manual and it clearly shows a plate that seems to go there. Could you guys who own this lathe please check and see if one is installed on yours?
