PM1440TV - Special Order

That lathe will already be attached to it's base I'm pretty sure.
 
That lathe sounds like a combo of the GT and the HD. Is it a Taiwan made lathe? This has my interest. I am ready to move on from my PM1236 but I have Bison D1-4 chucks and don't want to buy D1-5. I don't have to have the 2" spindle bore. I don't see on the PM site.
 
I could've sworn I saw D1-4 and MT 3 & 5. I figured Matt had it special ordered like that. Guess I was mistaken and must have been looking at another lathe. Yes Taiwan of the highest quality.

Yes, it is Taiwan made with D1-4 nose. I really do not want a D1-5 because of my D1-4 chucks, spiders, face plates, etc. The 2 inch does not play much in what I have done and plan to do. Plus, I like the 9 inch wide bed. Some of the 1440s out there have the same bed as my Taiwan made 1236.

Give Matt a call, or send him an email and ask about the PM1440TV, I think you will like it. I've looked hard for what I believe is the best compromise for a hobby lathe, the PM1440TV is the perfect match for all the features I was looking for.

Though this one has a VFD. I am still actively looking for a TravADial to mount on it. I am just totally stuck on those analog readouts.
 
It is in PA getting DRO Pros DRO installed. Maybe in a couple of weeks or so it will make its way to CenTex.

Taiwan product.

Ordered in July and still don't have it? Good thing that you weren't in a hurry.

No big deal. Nuns taught me well in Catholic school - Patience is a virtue.

Delivery added some weeks when Matt offered me the option to get magnetic scales, on top of my request for video of the final QC.

I had 4 lathes when I ordered this, have since sold the SBL13, still have a Taiwan 1236 and Taiwan Jet 1024, and the old workhorse I use for turning case necks, the ChiCom 920.
