I dunno what it's worth, but having something that is swinging a 40" 4-jaw is a priceless bit of kit..... Having a place to put it would be worth its weight in gold......

I think that's the scale of machine where the old adage of you can't make big stuff on a small lathe but you can make small stuff on a big lathe sorta breaks down.
"Hey Joe, where's the collet chuck for the Stanko? I need to make some 3/16" nuts for my Stirling engine"

Na, piece of cake, just chuck a smaller chuck and dial it in. Small stuff away you go.

Great for Curtis at Cutting Edge Engineering. Most of his work is biggerishment...

Not if the spindle wobble is 3/16...... LOL!

Or maybe @David_R8 really did mean what he wrote "3ft16inch" nuts......

Reminds me of the early metric days when people would say stuff like 6Meters and 147cm long instead of 7.47meters!

He's got a whole lot of other stuff from the shop listed as well.

Think about it some more.

You dial in the smaller chuck to run true (ie compensate for the wobble ) who cares as the path the smaller chuck takes is true and if the holding point of the smaller chuck is true who cares again.

The only down side is will look like its not true depending on what you visually reference.

You are assuming that there is a true perfect axis for the big spindle. If the bearings are not perfect, the bigger things get the more they wobble - the wobble will change with each rotation because the bearing movement is not synchronized to the rotation.

Speed is the bigger issue using a lathe this size to make small parts.

Max spindle speed is 500rpm and a 40” chuck is probably not even rated for that.

 

[Dabbler]

Agreed. Also even a small chuck that is chucked in a bigger one will create wobble in the headstock due to elastic forces because of imbalances. Yes I often chuck a smaller chuck in a larger one, but I reduce speed and take cuts accordingly. It isn't as accurate, but good enough for hobby work.

You can also use this method of chuck in a chuck to bridge gaps for gap lathes.

 

[Dabbler]

@Tom Kitta I know you speak from experience!

I do it becasue my big chucks can't hold tiny parts, but there are limitations using this approach. Better to have a small lathe for small parts...

It may be a little big for the typical home shop.
You need at least a large 2 car garage for that lathe.
. . . Or the guy wants too much for it.

 

[Rauce]

I think a two garage wouldn’t even be enough. Overall length is 26 feet and at 15 tons I think you might need a better foundation than the typical garage.
