got my new 3520a

Jim Ketron

>im very pleased with it so far I have only had time to turn 2 bowls on it so far but I hope to give it a good workout this weekend!I have been turning on the Jet Mini Its a good little lathe but I couldn't do the things that I want to tun on it. I did a lot of looking at lathes and I think this is the best lathe for what I want to do. I got the basic lathe and orderd an extra face plate the 2" spindal extension,remote on/off switch. I plan on making my own outboard turning stand. and some tool rests

Im in Lathe Heaven

>What's that big wire thing on the back of the lathe? I've never seen one actually attached. Just kidding, but I never did get mine put on my 3520a...figured it would interfere with the first bowl I turned!

Congratulations. You'll love the lathe.

>Hey Jim,congrats on the arrival of your new lathe.Looks like the Blank sale was well worth the effort.

I rough turned my blanks a couple of days ago and soaked them in Mythal Hydrate and they are wrapped and drying. Will post pic's when they are done.
