This guy talked me into buying a PM-1440BV lathe. Questions that I have had are serviced quicker by these people than any other source. Twice now on Sundays I sent an e-mail with questions and received answers on Sunday. With this kind of service and attitude these people will be my source for all machine tools.

Being a professional machinist/foreman for 30 years now retired I was thinking of getting back into the game with a small lathe and vertical mill in my large garage/shop. I have been hunting some videos and reviews on various medium size lathes and came across your video. This is a very good review in my opinion and has helped me narrow down the featured lathe I am looking for in this particular size category. So yes, in my professional opinion, Matthew’s has chosen very well in partnering with you as evidenced from your outstanding video. Take care!

well it's a lathe kzfaq.infoUgkxN9zrzkkhnjUF5PQbuA_B1gYdsfCu9k6z but it wasn't what i would have anticipated. Headstock, tailstock, carriage apron are manufactured from aluminum now not cast iron. The spindle diameter for the bearings is too small allowing for a few play in the spindle so I am using some blue Loctite to take out the play.

I purchased the PM1340-GT lathe about 2 yrs ago and LOVE it. Gets used regularly. One trick I learned long ago for tightening Jacobs-style scroll chucks is to go around and tighten all three key locations. You find that tightening only one location places an off-center strain on the chuck scroll. This can lead to drill bits spinning in the chuck when drilling metal. The same procedure is recommended for tightening material in the lathe three jaw scroll-chuck. You get better alignment, and holds the material more positively to prevent loosening or spinning, without using excessive force on the tightening key.

Hi Gaven. I literally just bought a LD1340GHE lathe after doing a LOT of research and after watching this video. It is a Liang Dei made in Taiwan. I believe the PM lathe is made in the same factory. My lathe has most of the features your has but mine only has a 40mm through bore. Yours is the next level. I didn't need that precision. I learned a lot from your video. They don't supply a lot of information when you buy the lathe. They assume you know how to drive one. I'm looking forward to learning more from you. Cheers from Aussie.

This hobby is addictive and constantly requires another gizmo. I've got the PM1440HD that I've had for several years. Very sturdy machine weighing in at about 2600#s with its cast iron base. Plenty of power, I'm on 3 phase. I'd like to have the bigger bore but mine came with the D1-4 spindle. In addition to the nice accessory kit I got the taper attachment and the collet chuck with a set of collets from PM. The collet chuck is very nice but is the type that requires considerable turning to close on a different collet. I do repair work on mostly metric equipment so often need to change the gears, kind of a PIA. I do a lot of turning between centers so I can take the work off and trial fit. I've gone to straight-in threading, works fine . No fooling around with two adjustments. I've got a Shars (Deckel knock off) single point tool grinder and I've found that I can regrind carbide inserts for both the lathe and mill. 2 & 4 flute end mills both HSS & carbide can be easily end sharpened. Been playing around making gears with a 8" rotary table, time consuming! As it turns out the lathe is just a minor part of this entire scheme.

Good review. You are correct about the improvement of surface finish switching from a single phase to a three phase motor. The single phase motors cog, or accelerate and decelerate somewhat during rotation, and this can transfer to the workpiece when running fast, say 1:1 ratio from motor to workpiece. Also , the reversing function for metric threading on an imperial machine is much better. Have fun with your new purchase.

Excellent overview. Just received a PM1224T and will be lifting onto it's stand this weekend. Opted for a Chandex three jaw (forged, TruSet type with replaceable jaws), Easson DRO and 3 phase. Added SMVector VFD. Changed my Jog button to DPST w backlight. Ran second pole to VFD input so jogs at 150 motor RPM. Backlight allows white light to be removed and space for a Tach. Will add TMX forged 4 jaw with replaceable jaws. Instead of 5C will use hex and square ER40 collet blocks. Allows me to move work between lathe and CNC mill/4th axis. Did you consider the taper attachment or will you power feed the compound?

@gavintoobe Thank you so much for this Video! I just found this Video, and am now a Subscriber. This Video alone is worth it's weight in gold for someone looking to getting into Manual Lathe work. I am a Welder/Fabricator, and I have been biten by the Machining Bug very badly. I've always been interested, but never had time to go to school to learn this, now with the Technology available today a person is actually able to learn Machining, manual as well as CNC from the comfort of their home, when they have the time available, thanks to youtube, Instagram, etc, because of Guys like you, Titan Gilroy, and many others. I am so glad to hear you say that you have put together a complete educational video series for Manual Lathe & Mill. I have been looking for quite some time for somebody to have this exact series. I have been on the hunt for my first Lathe and Mill. The problem with most used Lathes is they are beat to hell. Lately, I have been seriously considering purchasing a Precision Matthews. Now you have convinced me. As far as a Mill goes, I think I am gonna exercise my patience and hold out until I find a Bridgeport in really good condition for a fair price. I will be checking out all of your other Videos, and binge watching this weekend. You will probably being getting many questions from me in the future. Thanks again, and keep up the good work. Regards, Phillip Chambers
