I've been waiting for a long time, but the wait is finally over. I just got my new Powermatic 3520b. I am supper excited. I have to get things rearranged in the shop so I can try her out.

Sure you did.:tongue: Quit teasing and show us the yellow mustard monster. You know the old adage "No pic didn't happen" but we believe you
Get that shop rearranged and let's see some turnings. Happy turning.

Congrats!
Just touched up my 3520A and installed a remote switch. (see threads for today)
That is one heavy lathe. Make sure you get some help setting it up. Are you wired for 220? I guess you are if you are ready to fire it up.
Do you know about the sight for Mustard Monster owners?
Here it is. http://mustardmonster.weebly.com/
Hope to see some pics of it in your shop! Happy turning

Yeah, I'll get some pics when I get a chance. It's been real busy for me this week.
Martin, I have been to that site, and thank you for posting the link. It is heavy. I helped a friend with his new Robust and then we moved my Powermatic too. I was beat. I am wired and ready. My old lathe was a home moded grizzly that I added a 2 horse 220 volt and vfd to it. So I am just waiting for some time...

I got to work on a Robust while at a turning school and really liked being able to change the height of the machine. Great machine. I've built a riser to get a little higher on the Powermatic - especially for hollow turning. I swapped out my powermatic tool rest for a Robust tool rest because it was so comfortable. Hope you get some time soon do turn on that sweet machine. Congrats.
