Finally pulled the trigger

After months of reading, & trying to decide new or used/resto, I just got off the the phone with PM and ordered a PM 1236 Lathe

Most everything in my shop is used, some things like my old C-Man lathe (on its way to a new home) needed to be gone thru. Fun project at the time 15 yrs ago

I like old iron...I really do , but at this point in my life Decided to go new.

Greg at PM said everything is in stock, so hope to crates arriving next week

Chips in 2 weeks I hope

Congrats! Those lathes seem to have a pretty good following so far. Drop into the PM sub-forum and post lots of pics when you receive it.
