New lathe

[Brian Libby]

Orderd my powermatic 3520B Monday-received on Thursday-I have got it most assembled today. just need to run wire!
Did it all by myself-yankee ingenuity or stubborness!!! Got it done.:)

There is A LOT OF CAST IRON in that lathe so I used a small block and tackle to do the heavy lifting.

[John W Dixon]

Congratulations! Can't wait to see it covered in shavings.

Brian:

What a beauty! Where did you buy the lathe? how was delivery handled? I'm looking to upgrade this year and delivery is a concern. My shop is in the basement so I have to take it down there in pieces. Can't wait to see your first turning off this beast!

[GLENN THOMAS]

Very nice, I'm turning green as I look at your pics.

[Brian Libby]

Bought lathe from craft supplies usa- great people to talk with. Their customer service folks are turners so they know what you are talking about!

[George Guadiane]

Congratulations and welcome to the club!

[Donny Lawson]

That is one great looking lathe. If I ever get good enough I will have to jump into one of those myself. What did you have before that one??

[Bob Bergstrom]

Boy are you in for a treat. Enjoy turning. It's a great lathe.:D

[Kieran Kammerer]

Looks just like mine! Congrats on a fine new machine.

With all the "RVUs" ortho generates, I had you pegged as a Oneway guy!

[Thomas Canfield]

Congratulations. I am very happy with mine and hope you like yours as much. It is quite a machine. I'll be looking for output.

[Tim Thiebaut]

Very nice lathe you got there! You should go to Teds for Fried Clams and celebrate now!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats now the fun begins.

[Jon Nuckles]

Looks right at home, and you will love it. Got mine at CSUSA also, and heartily agree about their knowledgeable and helpful staff. They also match competitors' online pricing on lathes, so no reason to give up service to get a great price.

[Baxter Smith]

Congratulations on the lathe and using "Yankee Ingenuity"!:) The block and tackle my grandfather used to raise hay in the barn in Dayton, raised many of the timbers in my house 60 years later. I still use it.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Congrats on the new lathe. You will enjoy it.

[bob svoboda]

Congratulations and welcome to club Mustard. Looks a lot like mine except not covered in shavings. Will look forward to your turnings-guarantee you are going to enjoy that machine.

I took a class with Jimmy Clewes. He had 3 or 4 PMs and a Oneway. I spent all my time on the PM. Not sure there is really a "need" for any other machine. You will have good experiences with it.
