Hi

Maybe better to own a lathe that doesn't need a users group to help you
out ????

Have fun and take care

Or maybe us PM owners just have such a great, wonderful, fantastic
lathe that it is  impossible to tap all of it's potential without some
give and take from others.  :)

But it's OK to have a little envy and kid us.  When we have the best we
get used to it.

That's the lathe that had the headstock castings break and the
headstock fall on the floor ??
That the lathe that owners buy Oneway banjos for, originals POS ??
That the lathe where you let the ways rust to keep the tailstock from
sliding ???

ENVY ?? not a chance in hell, thank you.

Have fun and take care, DON'T GET HURT NOW YOU HEAR

I don't know of any lathe that is perfect. Name your brand and I might
be able to quote some problems that has happened in past our present.
If I can't I'm sure somebody else can. GT
