New lathe

Post by pipedreamer »

Happy fathers day to all. I get to wait a couple of months for my present, however I'm happier than a puppy with two peters because it's a new PM 1127VF with the works. I thought long and hard on this one. Read Todd Johnsons' and Scott Sethilles' opinion, Then Kurt put me over the top with the sexy beast comment. Thank you to all for your opinions, they matter to me.

You will love it. Think about getting the custom 2 jaw chuck from Mark Yingling. Also, be prepared to wait for china. They told me 2-3 months, but it took 8 months.
