i dont know much about these machines, but i came across a used one and it is really tempting me. as far as i can see from the pics, it has vs, 4 step pully and variable speed, like i said, it is an older model, anyone out there have any experience with these older generals? thanks in advance. -Chris

I have two friends that have that model. It is a good quality machine. It is not as nice as a PM 3520 but still an excellent machine. Be sure to check out the bearings and the VFD, these can be replaced but that would add to your cost.

i used two of them at school. they are great. a little light for off balanced peices, but just add some sand. they have the power and the ability to do big things though.
