Went to the Indiana State Fair today, saw the largest lathe to date for me. Woodmizer has an add on to the bed of their sawmill that indexes so you can cut a tree (length of the bed, oh, 10-15 feet) into a square, a triangle, a six sided object and an eight sided object. From the eight sided object you can then turn it down to a circle what ever dimension you prefer. All using the bandsaw of the Woodmizer outfit. Didn't get a demo, but sure played with the gagdets and do dads and like what I saw!!
