The Eagle Has Landed

PM1440TV is here. Jeff came down to help, a real big THANK YOU, Z2V.

The lathe is sweet, minor clean up is all that is needed.

Sweet!!! That is one major present to yourself, Nez. Happy for you!!

Hi to Jeff, too.

Wow! Nice machine, congrats!

Thank you y'all.

The spindle center height is perfect for sawed off guys like myself.

I arrived at Nez’s house right as the trucking company pulled up. Nez had a plan, we worked it and the machine was in its place in about an hour and fifteen minutes. It went as smooth as could be. It was time for a Lone Star and pizza.
This is one very nice machine with a heavy one piece cast iron base.
Nez, Congrats, I know you will enjoy this lathe, worth the wait.

One of the reasons I went with the PM144TV instead of the 1440GT, is the 9 inch bed. Another is the D1-4 spindle nose. I am heavily invested in D1-4 backplate for the 6Js, 4J combo, and spiders.

If for ANY reason you decide you don't like it, I'll be happy to move it a couple of states west to SE Arizona.

Enjoy that thing. I sure would.

Very nice what a beauty & excellent choice! I too would have done the same (if I could afford one).

Man, my 8 1/4" Pratt Bernerd chuck would love to be on that thing!
