I'm in need of a new lathe and have been looking at the PM1340GT, does anyone here have one or know anything about it ?
Thanks for any info about it....

Dear Member:
After viewing the PM1340GT, I came to the same conclusions as described above and decided to purchase. Matt showed me one in a box crate and I was sold after comparing side by side with a standard lathe.

Good luck Steve and I hope you enjoy it. Please tell us how it goes when you get it. Did you order it with any fancy trimmings like DRO etc?

Thanks and will do. I ordered the machine as a standard manual lathe with cooling, and the other basic manual add ons. Nothing fancy. It is a little scary to see how far Taiwan has advanced in their quality with China not far behind. I own an older Chinese 3 in 1 machine "Shoptask" and this is not even close to the modern Asian machines. Now I could only wish that we were building these in America.
Hope you find the right machine to fit your needs also.
Have a great week.
Steve
