    Man, I'm going to have to try changing the direction mine faces and see if it will turn into a powermatic

    Wow! Smoke and mirrors!! Congrats on the upgrade Josh! Looks like you will be able to turn some really big stuff now - especially with your bed extension! Pretty cool!

    This was obviously a trick question, involving something like a magic wand???

    this is a good tfasq, If you are facing the same wall , then your lathe work piece will turn toward you when the head is on your left but away from you when the head is on the rihgt side

    And to think I have wasted time feeling bad for you over the last several days because you had to sell your lathe. You can turn it right back around!

    I think you need to move it closer to the door. It's easier for me to load. LOL. It looks great. Enjoy it and congrats.

    Congrats Josh. I am just crushed and still trying to figure it out. I turned mine around 3 times, clicked my heels, moved it closer to the door and it never turned into a Robust, PM 3520 or a Oneway 2436.
