Powermatic 3520B Review

[tom hintz]

I have been getting lots of questions on this lathe for some time and finally got one in the shop. I like tools as much as the next guy (and women with the power-tool gene defect) but this one really impressed me. It's like stepping back in time and getting a machine with lots of real cast iron, well made, well designed and loaded with functionality I can actually use.

Wow :eusa_droo :eusa_droo :eusa_droo was that bought for your own use, or is just for reviewing purposes? I need to know how big to make the YOU SUCK font :lol: :lol: :lol:

I guess the YOU SUCK will have to be large. It's mine. It's staying right where it is and if you want to find it, just look for me, the guy petting it and stuff when not actually turning things I have no idea where to put.

Awesome review Tom-------and very accurate. I have a slightly older model of the 3520 and love it. It would be nice if I had some of the features of the newer model but I will never conquer the capabilities of the one I have. :lol: And BTW----YOU SUCK in the colors of the lathe no less.
