Item Description:
Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing.

Selling this Powermatic 90 that was bought by chairmaker Elia Bizzarri in 2004 and used by him for 15 years before selling it to me (I work with Elia at Hand Tool Woodworking).

It’s an excellent lathe. The Powermatic Company in Tennessee made the PM90 from 1955 to 1998. From the thread on this site, it looks like this one is from 1961. These lathes became popular for use in high-school shop classes and gained a reputation for standing up to less-than-careful use. It weighs in at 600 pounds and is therefore quite stable. It has a variable speed lever that shifts easily from1000 to 4000 rpm. This one is currently set up with a 1 hp motor and a single-phase, 220v connection. Also included, in addition to original metal tool rest stand (minus the tool-rest itself), is a longer wooden one that Elia built for turning chair parts and also a sturdy tool stand/rest for outboard turning.

Buyer will need a way to load the machine as we have no lift.
