Powermatic 3520b

Saving for 7 years . . . wow . . . that is what I call patience. At least it has paid off. Post picks when it shows up.

Wow, that is a great buy. Since I am a Powermatic fan, I obviously think you made the right choice. But you do have a quality lathe that should give you years of pleasure. As a suggestion why don’t you do a review and an installation blog. I thing they would both be interesting reads.

I bought one three years ago. The best money I have spent for a power tool. I have been quite impressed with Powermatic’s quality price ratio. Get HELP setting it up. The parts are heavy as hell. The one thing they shorted on was a shorter 4” tool rest and their own is quite pricy so I shopped around until I found a less expensive one. You will love the variable speed, quiet operation and solid feel. I have built a storage cabinet under the bed with a tool holder rack on the front for easy access. Make sure you have a good chuck to go with it.
