Anybody use the 21st Century neck turning lathe ? Does it work well ? Anything better ?

I just bought the 21st century with the motor , just turned 300 6ppc , works great , I still use a .263 neck so i bought the extra cutter , 1st one is set to get close to final thickness , 2nd one does my finished cut , comes out looking great and i can just take the tarnish off the shoulder , you cannot feel any cut on the shoulder just a shiny ring , My PMAs works well also , like the 21st century best.

My only complaint on the 21st cent lathe is the tool head/cutter bit head. Its not easy to chage out for diff cartridges. I think buying a separate head for each cartridge is smart so the setting stay the same... very hard to fine tune and lock in place in the right spot...

This solution wouldnt be cheap tho..

Ok Guys,
I said I was going to make a YouTube video of the Gracey Neck Shaver and I did today. Here's the link

I want to apologize for the jumpy video, but I forgot to turn off the auto focus feature of my camera.

@Joe R, where did your video go?
