I've all ways dream't of a Powermatic 3520 lathe. I bought a Rikon 70-100 on sale back in 2006. I've used a Talon chuck, and have been happy with it.
Last week Woodcraft sent me their sale flyer, and they offer a $500 trade in towards the Mustard monster. That's twice what I paid for the Rikon.
I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get it.
I'm going to need a new chuck to take advantage of the 3520's capabilities.
(I'm going to keep the talon, and get a 1.250"x8 bushing for it for light work.)
I've looked at a "Stronghold". The Lathe expert a woodcraft said that the "Supernova2" would also be a good chuck.
I'm leaning towards the Stronghold.
I'd appreciate any advice on which one to get.
