Description
The PMA Neck Turning Tool is the best neck turner available today. You know why you need or want to neck turn, but with so many different models on the market, which do you choose? The factors determining your choice of neck turning tools essentially boils down to three key demands; ease and repeatability of adjustment, comfort of use and cut finish. This tool absolutely satisfies these demands.
Our neck turning tool does not use a course or fine drive screw to move the cutter towards or away from the mandrel. We don’t utilize an unnecessary micrometer or dial indicator. Nor do we rotate the mandrel on an eccentric which changes the center of the cut and has inconsistent adjustment. Our Model A neck turning tool simply adjusts by moving the mandrel toward or away from the stationary cutter with VERY minimal backlash. The Model A utilizes a super-fine 80TPI drive screw giving you .0002” adjustment between each mark, the marks have ample space between them allowing you to make adjustments as fine as .0001”. Tool does not include mandrel.

Repeatable accuracy, no more multiple turners
Received and set up my new PMA "A" turner with 40* degree cutter. Backed off bit from mandrel, oiled and ran a case over the mandrel a couple of times to warm it up. Zero' d out bit against mandrel. Dialed in .0136 and locked it. Turned a case and verified w/ tube mic @ .0136. Ran 4 more cases just to make sure, all 5 mic'd the same. Loosened set screw and set for a slight drag, dialed in target thickness of .0131. Ran it again, all cases at target dimension. All to easy to maintain proper cadence to keep mandrel @ same temp. PMA rocks!!

The Best
Have used other brands but none have preformed as well as PMA. Wide cutting blade, carbide mandrel, specific angle cutting blades very important.

I would give it 10 Stars
Built heavier than need be and for the precision way it works one of the best tools I own. Have been a prototype machinist for several years and could not do a better job. Good work Pat!

Neck turner
Really am enjoying my neck turner. It was a No brainier to set up and use. It feels good in the hand and is very comfortable to use. Should have bought one way sooner than I did instead of using the one that I was using. The carbide mandrels are also top notch and worth the extra expense in my opinion. Overall I am completely satisfied.

BEST QUALITY AND DESIGN AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME
I never do reviews. But I'll make an exception here. I have used every neck turning tool available over the past 20 years. The PMA is by far the best designed. The quality superb. You will be satisfied with this tool.
