I am getting ready to purchase the 1440B it has everything I am looking for and more standard options than my other choice 1340GT. except not made in Taiwan, I will use this mostly for gunsmith work, threading barrels either end. making some class III items , I do hold a 07 FFL license, I have a old Cincinnati tray top lathe that I refurbished a few years back, tooling is expensive for LO spindle. With what it would cost to buy or make for lathe I could almost pay for the 1440B and still not have what I will get Buying the new lathe. I have done search for reviews on PM lathes and mostly all I see is positive. I have contacted matt with email, I dont see any downside. I will also use this lathe for small contracts I can land in my area. I can retire at anytime now, If I wait the chance are I will not be able to buy new after retirement.
could some tell me what problems the 1440b's have if any.. I'm talking out of the box. all machines have something that has to be dealt with even the hi dollat machines seem to have little things that need attention before they settle down to run production or single parts.
What will it be with the 1440 B?
