      Gary (Spider) Webb Peoria AZ This has got to be the best woodworking money I have spent to date. I went for a grizly 12/35 after about 18 months of turning. Its like steping into a new BMW. So smoth and powerful.

      I bought this lathe about a month ago. Super lathe--the Horse power and weight are well worth the extra cost. Plus I love the fact that if I need something for my lathe the folks at Powermatic are in Tn. I want service when I buy and that's what you get buying from Amazom and Powermatic. Thanks for everything.

      I've been using this lathe for over 2 years now and it sure is a heavyweight. I turn mostly bowls in the 14-20 inch diameter range and this is the machine to do it on. I moved up from a Jet that required the foundation that came with it to be anchored to the floor to keep it in one spot. This Powermatic at 960 pounds just doesn't move. The three speed pulley serpentine belt arrangement not only assures quiet operation but a great degree of freedom in choosing a speed for your work. Couple that to the three horsepower variable speed motor and this bad puppy just flat out cranks out torque. I've also made hundreds of pens on it. A little overkill but no problems doing it

      Good quality High Speed Steel (HSS) tools. The tools in this set hold an edge far longer than the carbon steel set (46-730) and have a much better overall finish to them. Good to start off with because they will give you encouraging results without breaking your wallet. (Currently cheaper than the 46-730 set of 8)

      I bought mine directly from Cummins. The first thing after removing wrapping and opening the box was mold. Three handles were covered in mold plus inside of the box that was close to these chisels. It looks like somebody in China used a wet wood to make these handles. Two stars down. OK, I thought it would a nice project to make these handles myself, but after initial application of relatively small (really small) pressure the blade broke next to handle. I tried to gently bend other chisels just to check them and here I have to say this: Uri Geller should rather use Cummin's chisels instead of spoons - couple of them were that soft. I cannot take more than remaining stars although I should.

       I,ve given this all chances to work but have found many issues. Start with the good points. The blade holder is cast Iron, The rest of the construction is good Engineering. The cost is low but be prepaired for the rest of the issues. The bad: the iron holder is dished .020 over the lenght. The guide is die cast and also dished .010 therefor it will not run in a true plane across the stone. The tilt angle pin that the adjusting screw makes contact with is not cut to a proper angle that enable you get the perfect angle. I filed this for the proper clearance. The blade stop is balanced on a centering screw with springs at each end, impossible to clamp the knife straight in the holder. If you like a challenge this setup is for you! I've read about the others like Tormek, Jet and Makita and they all have their issues. You're choice is how much do you want to pay for the imperfections they have. I like the engineering concept of this Delta but hate the idea of another system destroyed by the sub-quality of China crap. It could have been a great machine design and better yet if it were made in the USA under the ISO 9001 quality. I've found that manufacturing is absolute better if produced under the ISO 9001. I kept this system because the returned replacement would only be the same. The DIY Mr fixit in me sees this as a challenge and it can be reworked as intended. My remidy is: add set screws 10-32 x 3/4 inch at each end of the knife backing bar. This will enable you to fine tune the exact exposure of the knife. The other is to machine the cast iron holder flat in a milling procedure. For others that don't have that option, here is the other alternitive. Use your outfeed table on the jointer to sand the cast iron holder flat. Strt With: Tape the under side of the 80G wet or dry sand paper (with NO OVER LAPS of tape or sandpaper) of the single sheet cut in half on the long side. The rabbit ledge will accomodate the over hang of the guide edge of the knife holder. Tape down the sand paper to the outfeed with the clean edge of the paper not over hanging the rabbit. After several strokes look at the pattern that is showing. Use a straight edge to measure the dished area to know how bad is is dished. You will not sand it all out so make up the differance with Brass stock that is close to filling the low dish and including the epoxy film. THis is purchased from a Hardware Store for a few dollars and some 5 minuet epoxy. Clean all residual from the iron surface and scuff pad the brass to enhance the mechanical adhesion and cut it to lenght to lay within the dish so it will fit under the straight edge and not lift the straight edge up away from the extream ends that you first sanded. Set it in with the epoxy and press it into place only using the edge. Follow up with the sanding proceedure untill it shows a consistant sanding pattern. clean out excessive amount from the inside 90 degree cut so it will lay perfectly onto the DieCast guide. Slow down and get it right; think of it like dry fitting hand cut dovetails. Now for the Die Cast guide part can be done with the same sanding prep on the outfeed table and sand it completely using a slight cross hatch pattern till the sand paper cuts all the way across the face. Stop here and change up to 180G and use a cross hatch pattern and watch your flattening progress. Now the two parts will track flat across the stone. As your working this check it often on the cast iron table saw with feeler gauges to get down to .0015 flat or better. This should get the proper alignment that was intended by the machining. Good Luck! and go slow like fitting hand cut dove tails.

       Sharpener is a big mess maker though - the splash sheild does little to contain the mess. The system lacks a drill bit adapter although I plan to try to modify one for standard grinders.

       There is no way that this long blade adaptor can be leveled with the horizontal stone on the 23-710 Sharpener. It too is a poorly designed piece of equipment. The support can not be lowered sufficiently and even then it is about 1/4" higher on one side of the stone than the other. It is obvious that little engineering went into this support. I can not recommend this to anyone. It is a pure waste of money as is the sharpening center itself. I finally gave up trying to make use if this unit and bought a Swedish made one. Now, that one is a great 5+ star unit.
