PM4224

>Hi,

I have the 4224 and just love it. It handles like a dream and at 1000LB she dont move to much. But all lathes will move if you get crazy with speed. So the first few times I started up I had to remember the veri drive. After comeing from the jet 1236 it was quit a difference. Please feel free to ask me anything about it(onlineor off and Iwill do my best to help you out) IF your are close to Joliet Il please feel free to come over and give her a turn.
