Hey all
I got word on friday that my lathe has shipped and should be here late next week or early the following week. Im almost set up for it but have a few questions regarding the lathe and some cutting tools.
Can anyone tell me the approximate footprint of their PM 1236 on the factory stand including wall clearance in the rear? Also what is the minimum amount of rear clearance I can get away with?
On the cutting tools, I ordered a set of 3/8" indexables from LMS, they are phase II, and they are only 2.5" length. They will only be held in the BXA tool holder by two set screws,is this enough or should I get some longer ones? They just seem short to me, but these are the first indexables Ive ever laid my hands on, so I may be wrong.
Any info/advice is greatly appreciated.
