I haven't quite been in my house for two years yet (April), and I've purchased 3 lathes and 3 mills
We may have to organize an intervention for you Mr.

For that kind of money a used Mori or Webb looks attractive, michael
If I had the wherewithal to be shopping at this price point, I'd probably be inclined to hire a rigging company and get it done right. But then I'll likely never have to solve that problem.
I did briefly look at the PM1640
I must say, I envy you guys buying all these new machines so frequently.
2. Floor to center height arrgh the G0670 wins that one at 44.25 inches vs the G0509G at 47 inches vs the G04003G at 46.25. I was hoping for a shorter height as my G4003G is about 4 inches too tall for me. So I'll be building a work platform to stand on.
7. G0509G swing over the saddle must be a misprint, its only 9.875 that's less than the G4003G's 11+ inches and way less than the G0670's 15+ inches. I'll have to confirm.
8. Spindle length on the G0509G is 5 inches shorter than the G0670. I know shorter is better for gunsmith work but the wider G0670 is probably more stout. I did confirm the Go509G has a 3 bearing spindle, 2 tapered and 1 roller.
That's Bill's fault, him and his 3 mills and 3 lathes in 2 years he's a bad influence and instigator.
But I'm down to two each. That should count for something...wait...what am I instigating?
