Powermatic 4224B is tops

Review Summary

Have been turning for over 20 years, this is my 5th lathe (and last); is in a class by itself considering all its features, design, capabilities, heft, quality and price. Looked at all the others in this limited high end class but the 4224B was a winner by far and after owning it for over 2 years I couldn't be more pleased. Got mine at the AWA national turning symposium in Tampa in 2013 for a great price, those types of shows are always the best place to buy a lathe or any turning tools.
