I’ve been reading the various posts by Mark, David Best and Alan with regards to the PM 1340GT, and really appreciate time spent and the wealth of information put forth by these individuals. Mark in particular has been very gracious with regards to sharing what works with regards to VFD conversions and tooling.
I began looking that the 1340GT, but never was that fond of the Norton-type gearbox’s method of lubrication, so I began to read about and consider the 1440 GT. Now that Mark has purchased this beauty, I’m quite interested in following the installation and review of this lathe. By the time I finally pick one to order I’ll be retired. Oops—that already happened -- sometime during my rather lengthy shopping spree...
