Searched the forum and couldn't fit a thread on this....
Looking at getting a PM 1340, but I really what to know how much floor space this is really going to take. I do plan to dedicate a tall tool rest for all the goodies, so let's ignore that.
Primary use will be gun barrels and smaller work...
The specs say "52”H x 29”W x 70”L"... I have lots of height, but floorspace is a premium.
So I wanted to ask real users what is viable.
Can I put the back of the lathe against a perimeter wall? If so are the front controls 29" from wall?
How much free space on the right do I need? Can the right side go against a wall?
Thanks
