Would like any info./reviews on the Powermatic PM 2020. Have you turned on one, did you like it, what are you hearing re: this lathe?

A 2020 is simply a short bed 3520. I love my 3520 and have to believe that you would love the 2020. For the difference in price, I'd go with the longer bed of the 3520.

Roger, I am going to try again. My email is shown with this message. You can email me and if you are interested in talking about the PM2020 I use, give me your telephone number and we can talk.

Perhaps you have already made a decision. If so, I wish you the best of luck.

I have the 2020 and I am quite happy with it. I got it as a companion to my 3520A, but didn't need 2 big lathes. In my case, it was a compatibility issue - everything fits either lathe, and for the most part they operate the same. The only thing I have notices is that it vibrates more readily with a slight out of balance piece, than the larger beast
