Hi everyone I'm retired heavy equipment mechanic and a beginner at machining. I have put a deposit on a pm1236 lathe and could use some advice on the best size lathe for home use ( making parts for my old 50's tractor ,truck,so on ) i think i can call them and change my order to a pm1440E-LB so with not having a size reference only photos . So what do you guys think ?
My first lathe was from Toolots it was a 1330 ANMEC it weighed around 600lb it was ok more like a toy. I know the pm 1236 is twice that . Thanks
