Do you ever think about upgrading to a Oneway?
So, what is an upgrade when you already own a PM 3520!! I must be confused on the meaning of upgrade g PhilRon Sardo said:Do you ever think about upgrading to a Oneway?

I don't move the headstock all the way. The headstock gets moved to 12-15" away from the end and that leaves room for the toolrest. But you can still readily access the innards of the current bowl. This was one of the main reasons I bought the PM3520. The following pic illustrates this.

Jake Debski said:John is correct with his "minor negatives", but I don't consider them to be negative enough to be worth the extra $3000 a "better" lathe would cost. If I was doing production work, that's a different story. The only thing that would be worth that extra money is the paint job.

Thanks for that, they're currently not available over here. That just leaves the swivelling head and the positive spindle lock, we're getting there.
