I have been looking at either a Powermatic 3520C or a Laguna 1836 lathe. I've read a bunch of threads on this topic, and I'm still deciding.
However, the Laguna 2436 caught my eye. It's still a good bit cheaper than the Powermatic, and the swing is deep. But I don't see it come up on threads that much.
I don't have much experience to help inform my choice, so those of you who do, can you tell me the good and bad points of the Laguna 2436?
If you haven't turned on this lathe of one like it, what do you think might be possible downsides to it?
thanks, Mark
