Yeah that PM1440 is a bad ***** if I had the cash that's prolly the direction I'd go make sure you add a dro
After looking here, their website, and on Practical Machinist, Im heavily leaning towards it. This will be for a shop that is attached to a range and is ooking to become one of the premier spots in the Southeast, possibly the country. Its not my cash, its the investor's. Buying a new machine will be easier. The reason i asked the question is because I had written new machines off as of poor quality. I didnt realize I learned on a Taiwanese machine and that Taiwan was making good stuff. If I get one, it will have DRO and the whole 9 yards.Yeah that PM1440 is a bad ***** if I had the cash that's prolly the direction I'd go make sure you add a dro
I've heard great things about jet I'm actually looking at their Bridgeport cloneI don't own a PM or a Grizzly, I bought a 14x40 Jet, that came from China, its been great, so much so, after seeing and using mine, 3 of my friends bought the exact same lathe, all of them are thrilled with the performance.
If you have no shortage of money why are you asking questions on a hobby forum?Well, mine is gonna be more than hobby level. This is gonna allow me to make a better living so I need it to be good.
