    Not sure about the single phase EVS motor either. The three phase should work fine with EVS.

    1500lb construction... That's about 680kg. The VB36 comes in at a piddly 304kg, a Omega Stubby 1000 is 270 and a fully kitted Vicmarc VL300 long bed is 375.

    That's a lotta lathe

    Anyone calculate the $$ per kg? And does that seem (to those familiar with such high end items) to be a measure of quality? Just late night wondering.

    Interesting, a gap bed lathe with a saddle and tip tools for what looks like reverse turning. Something that is very common in the metal turning lathes, dunno about the morris taper tho'

    Never the less its a good innovation and rather timely considering Vicmarc is about to launch its monster.
