Howdy folks, I'm not new to turning, but, I'm not very experienced either. I'm looking at buying a new to me, gently used PM4224 and I am wondering what the pros and cons are for this lathe. It is the 4224 model and it has a three hp 230 engine. What are the pros and cons of these creatures, how good of a lathe are they? I'm thinking of purchasing a gently used one for around $3500.00, is that what you would think is a good deal. Please let me know what you know about these lathes, thanks.
