Straight from the good folks over at Amazon.com. I used their price matching and free shipping to save a bunch of money. Hope to get it set up over the weekend. Powermatic 4224---3hp--24 inch swing.:D I would like to thank all the people here at SMC who have helped so much by sharing thier knowledge and works of art.

Now that is a nice serious lathe--Love the color! Looks like it should have a track to sit on. :cool: Hope that you make some great stuff with it! :cool:

Wow, great gloat. I have the little brother (3520) and love it so I know you'll really be happy with your new toy--tool.

This lathe will be paying for itself. It's got to work for a living. I can not wait to get a big blank on this thing. Right now I am trying to get 7 pieces of furniture built---then I will be able to give this lathe a good work-out.

Holy smokers, Mr. Max! (I figure now that you've got a bit 'o the Gold, "Mr." is probably appropriate!:D ) Heckuva' score, my friend! That's truly one serious machine. Now that you've got one of the BIG boys, I'll expect to see something BIG and maybe other than Cedar????:) I mean, with that bad boy, you can ransack firewood stashes of every size and flavor! Congrats.:) :cool:

Congratulations Gary. You've been looking for a bigger lathe for a while now. I know you'll like it, or does Margie get it?

Oh the guy in the pic is the truck driver from Tirstate trucking out on Danville Ky.
I am twice his size--gray hair---bread---old---lazy--retired--and the list goes on and on.
I try real hard not to work more than 6 hours a day and need to go fishing at least once a week. Making money will never be very important to me but spending time with my wife and friends will always be high on my list.
