Hi,

Had a thought today. The headstock of the PM3520B has several holes for the Index pin. Dust and chips can get down in there. Is this a potential problem?

After several years turning, and no covers on mine, when I finally needed to use them, there was only one that had to be cleaned out. It took only a few seconds, and a blast of air from my compressor, and it was clean.
