Anyone have a 3520b near summit, NJ I can come look at. I am thinking of buying one but have never sceen one and would really like to before droping that type of coin.

Jason, I bought my sight unseen two years ago...no disapointment here! It was recommended by several club members. If you get close to MS, you can look at mine.

Jason, If you can't find a user nearby, maybe a road trip to the nearest woodworkers store is in order. A Rockler or Woodcraft would be happy to let you take them for a spin if they have one on the floor and you let them know you're coming. Another option is find a woodturner's conference/symposium/show - you're bound to find a 3520B at one of those.

Check either Force machinery in Union or a Woodcraft store if you have one close by . They have one set up at the Woodcraft I go to , in fact I was there today looking that gold monster over.
Give them a call before you head up there .

You might also try a local turning club if you have one .Here's a link to see if you have one close by.

I believe the closest Woodcraft to Jason is in Allentown PA straight across I-78. Unless things have changed, there aren't any in NJ.

Call the toolnut store and see if they are close to you, they are in NYC I think . I got my 3520 from them they are a class act with very good prices! George Morris
