Wanted to thank you for your contributions to the hobby machinist community. Our prayers and wishes are with you, and the fact you continue to make these videos is an example of true human perseverance.
Maybe PM do a better stand. I have a similar lathe (AL-336) by hare and forbes over here in Australia and the best thing I did was make a rigid stand for it. Steel box section welded and filled with epoxy granite and bolted down to the concrete floor. So It went from parting at 180 rpm to 1000 rpm in 4140 - it added that much performance to an already incredible machine. Glad you are still enjoying life with the hard cards you were dealt. Keep making those chips :)
@@Toolmaker001 there is an option for a motor to be added to the purchase I was just wondering if that was just additional? I did not want to mess the order up haha.

Thank you. Take it easy.
Very nice lathe. Yeah every machine has its quirks.
Very true. Thanks.
Nice review and a very good quality machine.
I'm defiantly very pleased with my lathe. Thank you.

My stand is ok but not the best. Thanks.
Also, PM does offer a cast iron stand now. It's an option that you can ourchase.
I wish I would have bought this before the pandemic as planned. I can no longer afford them at the current prices.
I'm sure this lathe is still the same price. At least this lathe is, not sure about the others.
Does your PM-1236 have the welded stand or the cast iron stand?
I have the regular stand.
I’m about to buy this lathe, thank you for making this video, you sir are an inspiration. 🫡
Certainly, when you get it feel free to message if you have any questions
@@Toolmaker001 I do have a question! Does the PEP come with a motor or does that need to be added as well?
Motor for ?
