Welcome from Oakville. The list in your signature suggests your equipment is a bit bigger than a lot of hobby users have. What sort of machining do you do?

Hi Craig, I'm a gunsmith. And the lathe is larger than I need 95% of the time, but when I bought it 32 years ago, I really didn't know what I needed. In fact, I didn't even know how to use it at the time. Though the length does come in handy at times. The biggest pain is when I have to put on the 4 jaw, which is a 14" Pratt Burnerd, and I have to dead lift it from the ground up to the bed of the lathe.
