Overview
The Powermatic® 3520C adds numerous innovative features to the already well-loved 3520 lineup. New features include an easily moveable magnetic control box that can be attached almost anywhere on the lathe for the most convenient access, adjustable riser blocks for 6'' or more of height adjustment and an increased weight of 726 pounds for maximum rigidity and minimal vibration. The easy-to-read digital indexing speed readout makes adjustments as easy as turning a dial. Electronic variable speed with low and high speed ranges ensures excellent versatility, and since the lathe is capable of maintaining an incredibly low speed of 15 RPM, it is ideal for large turnings. Other features include the new ergonomic spindle lock design, an anti-rotation tailstock key, a set of dead centers that hold a spindle for visual comparison, a two position mount for the optional bed extension, and a sliding hammer knockout rod with brass tip.
