I have had mine since mid 2013...no issues.

I have had mine for almost 10 years, can't remember..... Main thing I noticed after stepping up from a 3520A was that it made different noises. There is a little vibration when turning bowls 12 inch diameter or so. It goes away when you use the tailstock, which with the tilt away is simple to do. It also depends on how heavy of a cut you are doing. Anything in particular that you are noticing?

Arlin told me my PM wasn't up. I looked at it and can't figure out how to get it going. You can e-mail me. Contact info is on my web site www.robohippy.net I don't know if it is in this site or not.

Mea culpa

Happens all the time, and if I am being mistaken for Robbo, I consider that a compliment.... He is a great guy. If you want instructions on taking your Vicmarc and Nova chucks apart for cleaning, he has 2 excellent videos up on the subject. Not just good, but excellent. Great guy....
