Neck turning

[Doublejake]

Are you using a K&M expander? Their turn tool pilots are slightly oversized compared to other brands.

Yah learned that lesson already! Thanks to Pat at PMA for helping me out on that issue.

Just curious, do you all think the PMA neck turner is easier to use, or better than the 21st Century Neck turning lathe? I’ve been using the 21st Century with good results, but have always wondered about the PMA tool.

Results are what matter. If what you have is working - why change? I've been tempted many times to change from my Sinclaire cutter to try others touted as the "cat's meow"- but in the end - it does as well what matters most - consistent neck thickness. some are a bit easier to set up or make minor, repeatable adjustments - and some aren't. Yours has some good features.
