I am thinking that, if this is a good device, I should get one for my 3520B before they go away (now that there is a 3520C coming).

Hi Bill, concerning the swing away and the extension on the lower setting. Do you have to pull the swing away further back so its more out of the way when you use the lower bed extension for larger turnings? I am thing of getting the swing away if this allows me to turn on the lower extension without it being in the way.It works great, I have my bed extension in the lower configuration and it swings by without a problem. Sure is nice to swing out of the way instead of lifting it off and it truly is out of the way when lowered into place.
My jet1840 is along the wall with a shelf between wall and lathe. About how much Space does the jet tail stock swing away need to completely be out of the wayI have one on my 1642 Jet, same one as on Powermatic just Not mustard. Love it so much I had a machine shop built one like it for my Stubby. Swings completely out of the way to work from end of lathe and no lifting and finding a place it the shop.. imo
