That's not a lathe. This is a lathe...
This is a propellor shaft for the USS George H. W. Bush which is being constructed at the Newport News Shipyard.

For lathes there is someone in Europe that makes a lathe that has a bed of about 140 feet and a swing of about 15 feet. It has a CNC control on it and the operator station is a platform that is mounted on top of the Carriage.
Stuff like the shaft above would be much too small to put in that baby.

Used one of them there Elio Valeri lathes on a weekly basis for almost 9 months teaching the scum of the earth to turn. Personally I thought as a general lathe it was an absolute dog of a thing. They never used it for copy work although I did give it a bit of a try out for a couple of weeks but part of it was missing, so it may have been good for that, but as it was...... Bugger of a thing.
On the plus side, it had about 10,000 speeds in forward and reverse and a good quick release tail stock and if you could turn on that thing with hand tools you could turn on anything.
Rather have 's any day.

just digging around but there are some very large machines out there. Mostly used for making ships engines and the like. [media]http://home.comcast.net/~usr99/bigcrank.jpg[/media] is a pretty big one
http://people.bath.ac.uk/ccsshb/12cyl/ has some stuff about ships engines. You get to see the stuff they make without seeing the lathe they did it on.
Back to wood http://www.peter-andres.com/www_root...kord&Nummer=0# is a page of some guys making a big bowl or something.
