Mark I would pass on that old worn out overpriced scrap pile. Im not seeing a live center with it at all and only one tool holder on the qctp
I hear ya Mike. No live center, tailstock chuck, etc! Fortunately, I have 3MT live centers and tailstock tools on my present lathe!:biggrin:
Now if this was a PM-1127VF-LB I would be on my way to pick it up! :biggrin:

For that kind of money I'd make sure the warranty is transferrable to a different owner:wink:
I also have to wonder about a guy with a machine shop that calls a DRO a drone. I'm not sure how much I would trust his work. Maybe that's why he doesn't need the extra lathe
All kidding aside, I would buy a Precision Matthews again in a heart beat. Just remember the price of the tooling goes up with the size of the lathe too.

YOu can buy a pm 1127 lb new for that money now why havent you ordered one?
All good points Mike. My interest in this lathe in waning. I think I'll just stick with my current lathe for the time being. I must say that I was looking forward to having my own "drone" to fly around :biggrin:For that kind of money I'd make sure the warranty is transferrable to a different owner:wink:
