    Geez....KC, MO Lathe. Seems like overkill?!?!

    I'm not associated with it.....other than we probably both weigh more than we need to....

    I was just taken by the size and the motor.....seems huge. I'm not even a turner.

    Well, when considering the capacity of the lathe, the resulting tonnage of the blank, 10HP isn't too far fetched. 8' long by 18" chunk of steel is about 4 tons.

    Quite the lathe! You would have to have a huge shop to even consider such a beast - but think of the bragging rights!

    Just think of the pens you could make with that. I'm 15 miles from it...Might have to see if it'll fit in the garage.
