Lee,
Just saw your thread and tremendous CONGRATS! The lathe looks and runs great. Heavy duty built at a fraction of retail cost - love it! Now that you've conquered PM90 clone, I say go for the Oneway version. Excellent!

Yeah, Roy, good idea...in concept. But finding a Oneway or Robust headstock for anything that wouldn't break the bank would be near impossible.

That's outstanding so glad to see it run and with minimal vibration, I think you got a WINNER there. Congrates.

Thanks for all the positive comments
I really enjoyed this build. I learned a lot too, and developed a few new skills in the process. I'm looking forward to turning on it even more!
I'm hoping to make another at some point - may take some of the design features from the other big lathes - but, as with everything - it's all on hold for the foreseeable future!
