The wait has begun. I ordered one of these last week so I figure I will start a new thread.
This is a new offering from PM. It is made in the same factory as the PM-1340GT so hopefully it is of equal quality, fit and finish.
Here the the basic specifications:
Swing over bed = 14"
Swing in gap = 20-3/4"
Center height = 7"
Spindle center from floor = 47"
Max between centers = 40"
Bed width = 7-9/16"
Bed height 11-1/2"
Spindle bore = 2"
Spindle taper = MT#5
Spindle mount = D1-5
12 speeds, 52 - 2200 rpm
Lead screw = 7/8" / 4 TPI
Inch Threads = 4-56 (32)
Metric threads - .4-7mm
Longitudinal Feed Range = .0026-.0368 IPR
Cross Feed Range = .0013-.0184 IPR
Spindle Length through headstock = 15-1/2"
Cross Slide Travel = 7"
Compound Travel - 3-1/2"
Tail Stock Quill Diameter = 1-9/16"
Tail Stock Quill Travel = 4"
Tail Stock Quill Taper = MT#3
Motor = 3 HP, 1 Phase or 3 Phase
Weight = 1650 lbs.
Steel base, foot brake, coolant system, steady rest, follow rest, other misc stuff.
Matt does not have pictures yet (driving me crazy) but he did send me a picture of the thread chart.
Has a few more change gears than I like but most of the common inch threads can be done on the same gear set. This three times the number of threads I can do now on my current machine.
I poked around the internet for a similar thread chart and found the Eisen 1440E made in Taiwan.
This looks like the feed gearbox but this lathe is a 9 speed.
A little more digging and I found this lathe with a 12 speed, also made in Taiwan.
Looks pretty close.
Then I noticed on the PM website in the lathes section a picture of a lathe with no description or link.
Hmmm..looks about right.
I could be WAY off base but it is fun to speculate.
Now to get my current lathe sold to make room for the new one.
