Powermatic 3520B - w/Extension & Swing-Away

[Dave Landers]

$3800
Location - Estes Park, CO


Purchased almost-new in 2017, so it's about 8 years old (first owner only turned 1 bowl I think before he had to sell due to health reasons).

220v, 2hp, 20A

Includes:
- Tailstock Swing away
- Bed extension - Adds 20" to bed length or extends the swing to 29"
- Curved "Bowl Tuning" tool rest
- All bits and pieces originally supplied:
- Tool rest
- Faceplate
- Drive center
- Live center
- Knockout Rod
- Face Plate Wrench
- Safety cage / guard
- Comparator brackets and centers
- Etc

Other misc:
- I have rewired the controls (start/stop, speed, fwd/rev) in a remote magnet-mounted box that can be moved anywhere around the lathe (I'm happy to put this back to the stock location on the headstock, if desired)
- I added washers to the swing-away clamping knob so it's fewer turns to secure or remove
- Spare belts (purchased as a just-in-case)

This is the simple modification I did to the swing-away: https://dlwoodturning.com/powermatic-swing-away-modification/

Looks good. You’ve gotten a lot of turning out of that lathe. I trust you’ll get even more out of a new…Robust?

Thanks so much for posting this Dave! I just took delivery of the swingaway for my 3520C yesterday. I’ll be spending a bit of time fine tuning the alignment this morning and just happened upon this post. Perfect timing for a terrific improvement.

Looks like a good deal with the bed extension, tailstock swing-away, and control box. If I didn't have a "b" I'd consider a road trip with a trailer.

That bed extension is worth a lot - I'd hate to be without one. I use mine as an extension, not for extra swing. Don't have a tailstock swing-away.
Don't see where it's mentioned but from the pic it looks like you include the banjo extension post (needed when the extension is in the lower position.)

BTW, I read of a hint to align an extension or swing away. Use clamps to hold a strong, flat board to the lathe bed, then position and clamp the extension. Keeps the top perfectly aligned while tightening the bolts. I did that when I installed my extension.
