New club lathe
The lathe (Powermatic 3520B) arrived last week, just days before Saturday's
meeting. Several guys showed up early to help put it together. It went together easy and everyone was impressed with it, especially the club member who got to do the first demonstration on it. As a member of the lathe selection committee, I want to thank this group for the help they provided. I had asked what lathe other clubs were using and I had some questions on hp & torque that this group answered. I had posted before that I had put together a spreadsheet comparing several lathes and offered to e-mail to those interested, and several people took me up on the offer. The spreadsheet is available on my club's website at the following location for anyone still interested. http://www.liwoodturners.org/lathe%20comparison.pdf Thanks Martin Long Island Woodturners Association |

New club lathe
Martin:
One minor error in your comparison chart of machines. The spindle height if the Stubby S750 is adjustable -- from 44" to about 52". A lower minimum or higher maximum would not be a problem if required. Bill Stubby Lathe USA, Inc. Martin wrote: The lathe (Powermatic 3520B) arrived last week, just days before Saturday's meeting.

Thanks for the info. I went back to the Stubby site and see that it states
the lathe stand is adjustable, but it does not indicate the range. Martin "Bill Rubenstein" wrote in message om... Martin: One minor error in your comparison chart of machines.
