Hello Everyone, well I have sold my general 160 and the new owner is picking it up tomorrow (saturday) I will then order my pm3250b and hope for a quick delivery, I live in Kingston Ontario and I am hoping I can get the lathe delivered to my house or a friends company that has a fork lift. cleaning out the shop for the new arrival, those of you that have the pm 3520b what accessories did any one get or feel that should have gotten,
thanks Ron

Cograts on the sale of the old and the pending arrival of the new.

For me, I wish I had purchased a smaller tool rest with mine. I do pens also, and that 14" tool rest really doesn't cut it when trying to do pens.

When I got mine I also ordered the remote off switch, well worth it.When you hook it up I had to call coustomer support they where very helpfull. I also ordered the dust collector if you are doing spindles works well ,bowls not so good.

Bought mine from toolnut great expierence!!!
good luck!! george.

hi ron, you are going to love the 3520b.
i purchased the 18 inch extention, made a remote switch( instructions on the mustard monster site) for less than $20.00 ( i had most parts). i would suggest if you do small turnings that you get a small tool rest as the other poster stated.i am a welder so i made all of my smaller and curved ones. the dust hood is nice but you can throw one together out of scraps or turn one, it is easy to hook it up as the banjo has t slots on the sides.
again you are going to love it no matter what accessories you buy or make. tim .m.

I can't help you on the lathe, but I love your town. I spent several summers on Wolfe Island. And Kingston is a great place.
