Last year I moved up from a Jet midi lathe to the 1640 model, out of a desire to make bigger bowls. I finally acquired some nice wood (elm) big enough to turn into 16 inch bowls and cut it into turning blanks but now I’m worried about how mounting these heavy blanks is going to affect my lathe. The largest blank is just shy of 16 inches and about 5 inches deep; my guess is that it weighs somewhere between 30 and 40 pounds. Will mounting and turning this wood (planning to use a 5 inch faceplate and of course tail stock support) pose danger to my lathe?
