Hi All
Just got my new lathe, the PM-1236T from QMT, very nice lathe it is built in Taiwan at the same factory the PM-1340 that Matt has on his site. Now I need to change over my chucks to D1-4 mounts. I will guess it the same as preping the back plate as a thread on. Once the back plate is mounted a skim pass has been taken, do you mark the bake plate so it goes back to index. I'll be mounting a plain back Bison 8" and the zero set 6" 3 jaw, and lastly 6" scroll 4 jaw. All the lathes I have owned had either L00 or threaded mounts. So this kind of new to me. I'll be getting it broke-in in a few days and getting it tuned for use.
Thanks
