I added a tray (box) on the on the bottom and and filled it with sand. Also a cabinet with 6 drawers in the space below the ways.
one thing all of these lathes are quite tall and i’m 6’ and it is too tall for me. Some people add a round ack to stand on.
Powermatic spindle is the same size as the Grizzly, Robust, and others.......1-1/4" x 8 tpi. The 3520b and 3520c Powermatics have a 20" swing......the G0766 has 22" swing and more horsepower and more advanced inverter than the S-1 Delta that PM uses.
