Where will I find a full spec on the lathe including if it is a metric/imperial system and what is swing height above the V ways.

The thread on the lathe is 1-1/4 x8 tpi. If you are talking about an adapter that will reduce that to 1" x 8 tpi then you will need to buy that adapter. I bought the one one from PSI for about $20 as I had a couple of chucks for that 1" x 8. I have since purchased a Hurricane chuck to fit the lathe.

I cannot effectively answer this question. The lathe I purchased was used and it was incorrectly advertised as a model 3520B. What I received was a 3520A.

I bought a stand from Woodcraft and put a varnished plywood top on it. I cut some off from the legs so that the centerline of the lathe is approximately elbow height. I am well satisfied with this arrangement.

I have turned many bowls on this lathe. It has a 12 inch swing but I generally cut the blank down to 10 or 11 inches to start and turn it slow until its trued up and runs smooth then I increase the speed. I have so much enjoyed this lathe, however, if you want to turn anything larger I would suggest getting a lathe with a 16" swing at least.

This machine has a 8" swing that means from center to lathe bed it's 4" and you would add another 4 = swing. The longer you go is fine for spindle work but if you plan on hollowing the piece it gets tight when working deep areas past 4". I bought a set of hand chisels for sculpting that were very thin and good quality metal and then made longer handles for them this helped during hollowing my past projects however the tail-stock gets in the way as well as the tightening mechanize on the top of the tail-stock. Additionally I maxed out the width with a round object and works great just testing the limits of the lathe but none round objects make the lathe walk away.

Just be warned these are sold, and listed in the description as, for woodworking tools and are not really accurate enough for a metal lathe, don't get the resolution confused with the accuracy. The manufacturer lists an ACCURACY of +/-.002 over six inches which means they can yield as much as a .004 error over 6", that may be just fine for a woodworking machine but could wreak havoc with metal work! The .001 resolution listed in the product details is simply what the display is capable of showing and has nothing to do with the dismal accuracy which they so conveniently fail to list.

you can get the technical specs (physical measurements) directly from Gabriel.com. They have a technical department which may be able to help you.

Hi Paul,I believe the spindle size is 1 X 8, that is, 1" diameter, with 8 threads per inch (TPI). This is the most prevalent spindle for mini- and maxi- lathes. BTW, I'veowned my JWL-1221VS for about 8 months now, and I really like it. Seems quaility built (typical Jet construction). My only regret is the torque at very low speedsis poor.

One idea: Sell the lathe, and with the extra money you were going to spend on the extension, just get a lathe with longer bed like the Nova. The you add much more ability to get into bowls. My 1/2 hp motor gets very hot when I try to turn a bowl, especially in dry wood. And it's lighter weight makes it much more succeptible to shaking when turning anything not perfectly round - such as live edge work.

Hi again Irvin,In checking over Barnett specs you need the 17057 Revolution / Predator Crank Cocking DeviceI have a few left on hand if you are interested and want to message me. Hope this helps some. Have a great weekend!

Love my Delta 46-460. I've seen many different sizees and manufacturers of lathes weighted down by sandbags, etc, but really just when turning extremely uneven pieces. Can't say I've ever really noticed how heavy a lathe was once I had it set up.
