    I've Got The Proof!!!

    Came in today, and finished getting it together late this evening. Very quite and very heavy. I hope to make smaller pieces of wood tomorrow.

    Hey congrats Gary on the new machine. Can't wait to see some of that smaller wood. Makes some chips.

    Welcome To The Club!

    Congratulations! If you have the same experience I have had, you will be grinning for quite some time!
    UM, if you are going to use your knockout bar on the headstock, you will probably have to move the lathe away from the wall a little (I did when I set mine up).

    Way to go, Gary! Hope you enjoy your 3520 as much as I am enjoying mine.

    If that plywood is there as a wall, you might want to move the lathe out from it a little, to make it a little easier to use that huge knockout rod.

    If you look closely at the pic, I already have/had a piece of Maple in a chuck and already got it round. I wasn't going to turn it on to see how quiet it was without seeing how much noise I could cause.
