The PM2020 features a sliding headstock, electronic variable speed with low and high speed ranges, and a spindle lock. The enhanced features include a digital RPM readout, built in spindle indexing on the head stock, and a re-designed tailstock with internal storage, chrome trimmed handwheels, and a laser etched quill which is self-ejecting. Additional features include a two-position mount for the optional bed extension, a sliding hammer knockout rod with brass tip, and an attached tool caddy and a metal shelf for tool storage.
