The enhanced features include a movable control box for maximum versatility, adjustable riser blocks for 6 inches or more of height adjustment, and an increased weight of 726 lbs.

    • Getting it assembled, unassisted, was an adventure
Style: Lathe with Risers
I live in the woods at the end of a gravel road. Thanks to Central Freight for good communication. I met the driver at a truck stop to receive the lathe and take it home on a car hauler.. I built a ramp and used a come-along winch to pull the components onto the bed of my Gator and into the shop. I could inch the lathe bed along the floor with a crow bar but couldn’t turn it over without bolting the winch to a wall joist and screwing boards at the bed edge so it would tilt and not slide. With the bed turned over I attached the legs, moved the winch up a bit, and successfully righted the assembly, again winching and screwing boards down to the floor to prevent sliding. I hung the winch on a chain looped over a ceiling joist to lift the headstock suspended by two ratchet straps. Adding the banjo and tailstock was anti-climactic. The tailstock quill unit was jammed, and I had to remove the crank wheel and force it with a major wrench. I don’t know why it was jammed, and it worked smoothly thereafter. The unit comes with an unattached power cord, and the manual is not helpful in how to attach it. A web search gave me the necessary info for final wiring including the addition of a 220 plug. I was thrilled to fire it up and enjoy the utterly quiet operation. I was too tired to mount and turn wood. I went to bed exhausted and sore but satisfied. Addendum: read my comments above about the quill jamming. It turned out that I was using a center with too short a Morse taper for the quill to eject. The quill screw was going beyond its threads and jamming. The second time I loosened the set screws on the wheel hub, the wheel hub was jammed. This was due to metal being raised by the set screws. I attempted to tap it off with a nylon hammer, and the cast spokes broke. I was unable to repair the wheel spokes by brazing, so I fashioned my own tail wheel out of brass with elegant wooden handles at my metal lathe. I certainly cannot fault the manufacturer and will not deduct a star for the Mustard Monster. And btw- the MM gently shakes my entire wooden shop floor with unbalanced wood-probably not noticeable if on concrete. I made myself finish a number of small projects prior to mounting any 20” log sections, and work is so much more stable and secure than with my midi even though manipulating the tailstock and tool rest are more ponderous. ... show more

    • Love this lathe
Style: Lathe with Risers
I always wondered why this Powermatic lathe was priced so high. But after owning it I have yo say that it’s worth it. This is a beefy, well made machine. I love turning in it and feel I can turn just about anything on it too.

    • It comes with a power cord wire
Style: Lathe with Risers
Now there will be buyers or potential buyers of this product that will think the following criticism is pretty tricky tack. This $5,000 lathe does come with a cord/wire. It doesn’t have a plug on it which is understandable. What doesn’t make any sense is that it is NOT wired to the on/off switch on the machine. And in addition to not being wired to the machine, the power switch is not even shown on the 2 provided wiring diagrams. I am not an electrician and the “operators manual” clearly states that the lathe should be wired by one. But when you look at how the switch might be wired there aren’t many choices. There are 2 terminals and 2 wires, black and white, and both are carrying 110V. And the ground terminal is obvious and not on the switch. So why doesn’t Powermatic wire it? I can put the plug on. So I spent the better part of 2 days putting this 700# plus thing together and can’t plug it in and try it out. When you’re looking at the back side of the power switch, under that obviously very pricey VFD electronic motor controller, it is difficult to decide what wire goes to what terminal. Why doesn’t Powermatic wire the switch?? Most of us can wire a plug! Don’t bother calling customer support. All they do is cite the paragraph in the “operators manual”(notice NOT the installation manual) that says an electrician needs to wire it. And cite it over and over with every question of disbelief. So my question to you is do you really want to spent that kind of money and buy into a company that can’t address a problem this small? What happens when you have a real issue? It is too late for me. I’ve bought it. And I own other Jet and Powermatic tools. This is the last one I am buying. And believe me, I am looking at other tools. Next day update: My electrician buddy texted me back after looking at the pictures I sent. He said that both leads carry 110V and it doesn’t really matter which terminal. I matched the black cord lead to the black VDF lead and the white to the white(the terminals are numbered 1,2,3,&4 but I am not looking at the switch). I installed a 230V plug, plugged it in to an outlet and turned the power switch on. Next depressed the green on/off switch on the wired remote. Everything worked fine. Hoping that my next update will contain a few more stars. ... show more

    • It's HEAVY, so it doesn't move with out of balance blanks
Style: Lathe with Risers
This is a great professional quality wood lathe. I'm very pleased with the performance. You will need help to assemble it because it is heavy. The component parts are all heavy. I have forks on my tractor and they were a real godsend in getting the bed lifted up to attach the legs and risers. Mine did come with a loose power cord, but I needed to get a plug and outlet to complete the wiring. There are no instructions for that but it's not complicated if you have any experience in wiring. If you don't, get professional help. It costs too much to mess it up. I've turned several bowls of various sizes and a few spindle pieces. I'm very happy with it. ... show more

    • Top quality!

The best lathe in it's class. Period. I wore out a Delta, and outgrew a midi-lathe. This is essential an industrial level machine available to the pin.

    • Powermatic lathe
Style: Lathe with Risers
I really like this lathe except for the tool rests. The material the rest that came with seems to be very soft and easily mars which requires constant sanding to keep it smooth. The second tool rest for bowls has the same problem but is worse and even has pits in it before even using it.

    • Excellent
Style: Lathe with Risers
Really worried about delivery. The guys showed up with a liftgate...but they struggled to get this into my garage. I assembled it in about 2 hours by myself with help from a car engine crane. Lathe is excellent
