    Hmm, very nice, but a bit pricey. I reckon it would set you back close to 15k with shipping etc.

    Interesting that they apparently believe 2 hp. is adequate for even the largest turnings.

    It is. Our big lathe ran 1 HP for about 2 years but was upgraded to 3 HP when we put in 3 phase.

    My "small" lathes all run 1 HP.

    Dang, that's some mammajamma of a lathe. Been lurking here on and off for a bit and have seen some of 's work, seen the big man himself too. I'm sure he'll make good use of it. Congrats.

    You folks certainly enjoy your lathing, oops ... turning.

    Y'all have fun now.
