Whinning .....

[Logan Novice]

I found a buyer for my Logan ... it's gone.
So I ordered a Precision Matthews

• PM-1127VF-LB Lathe w/DRO
  
• Neglected to call them - just ordered it on-line. Bad idea. Got the notice that it (and the stand, and just about everything else) is on back order. It now looks like I'll be without a lathe until sometime in February. Most likely late February. It's my own fault so I really can't complain. But I thought it might be worth sharing what I learned with others.. IF YOU'RE ORDERING FROM PRECISION MATTHEWS, CALL THEM BEFORE YOU PUSH THE BUTTON.

I was perplexed by the title "whinning", it seemed a combination of "Winning and Whining". The purchase of such a fine lathe is certainly a WIN!

February is not that far away, it's not like you had a better alternative anyway. you will have a decent lathe for a long time.

It will be here before you know it. A little trick that my son showed me is, if you have a mill you can still turn small stuff. You put the work in the spindle and a piece of hss in the vise and cut away. I've done it, and it works surprisingly well.

I thought it was posted by Charlie Sheen while on crack.

Yes but he will have withdrawal until then.

So your handle is changing from "Logan Novice" to "PM Enthusiast"?

Lol, I know people on Screemandfly that used a boat make or model in their screen name, and haven't owned that boat for years.
