What model and size is that lathe?
Greg
It is a 13x40 size lathe. Precision Mathews PM1340GT to be exact.
Ti is a great Taiwanese made lathe.
If you are looking to purchase a lathe I highly recommend giving Matt a call at Quality Machine Tools, he is great to deal with.
Can I ask why you want to stay with 110 VAC power? I think you are really giving up some options by not wanting to go to at least 220 volt power. Personally in a lathe I would even highly recommend going 3-phase to be honest. The 120-degree overlap of the phases really smoothes out the lathe and is especially nice for low speed threading.
