I recently bought a standard modern 1320 . I’ve looked everywhere including the SM website where I looked at the old drawings and manuals and I can find no mention of this machine.… I see 1120 and 1334 1340 but no 1320. It looks to me like a 1120 … so I wonder would it be a late model 1120 that they later changed the name to 1320 ( since 13” is what it would actually swing)
Has anyone here care to comment . It’s a metric only machine and I don’t have it home yet so no serial # Thanks for letting me join the forum. D7C41779-48AD-45F5-91BD-2C81900B7ADE.jpeg

There are at least four other "1120" machines in the forum and yours is the first I've seen actually labeled "1320". You can use the 1334 manual from SM and are covered for specs/parts/pieces or the "Model 1120" manual. The only difference I know of between the 1120 and the 1320 is the label.
As to age, let us know serial number, mine is 11860 and I believe it's an early 90's model.
I've had mine for three years already and luv it.

The "1334-Mil" manual has all the detailed drawings for the lathe. The "mil" denotes the military spec machine that is AFAIK is the same machine just had all the optional equipment included and the more detailed manual.

Thanks all for the warm welcome and info . I’m just an almost retired hobbyist / garage tinkerer kind of guy but I hope to put the machine to good use.
The lathe did not have a 4 jaw but did have the taper attachment and that cool metric thread follower thingy. Also had both steadies inside the cabinet but I was too excited and forgot to ask if they actually fit the machine..Ha ha
Again, thanks from PEI
