Bill,
Your not a nice man! Nope, your not a nice man at all.
Tempting us fools (OK, this one anyway) with such state of the art lathes, shame on you!
LOL! :)

Hell of a machine! That's the stuff dreams are made of.
Where is it made? (to lazy to go looking) :o

Sonny, you could have a matching pair of the 5 HP tablesaw and the 5 HP lathe. (and a permanent visitor from Delaware)

Best Regards,

...the term "Large and Obstencious"? LOL.
Bill,
In the first place my shop isn't big enough for such a beast.
In the second place that thing needs an overhead crane to load columes on it.
And finally feeding that thing would require a logging truck and Marilyns farms woodlot.

And furthermore, those guys need me to set them up with dust collection.
What a mess they have made! :)
And who loaded that huge roller for Dave Reeks? I can just see spinning that on a screw chuck. Yah sure.

No, I like the first one better. Do you realize it's the same price as the new Delta lathe?
And I'd dare say far superior, at least by it's technological points. :)
Sigh, back to my little 10" swing Delta. So far I'm a happy camper. And the tools aren't 4 feet long neither. :o

Sonny,

Just think of the new toys you would "have" to buy though! :)

See the little "Union Jack" logo, Sonny ?

When I were a lad we'd think nothing of standing on an upturned milk crate and loading a trunk of wet English oak onto our dad's lathe. LOL

That's the problem with you "merican's, have to use a car if the store's more than a block away......spoilt and lazy....spoilt and lazy..... (ducks and goes back into hibernation).

Men or Mice ? squeak squeak.

The Limester :) :)

Ask the Taliban. Ask the clammering hoards wanting American aid.

When I was 25 I thought nothing of hoisting a 25 HP motor rotor onto my shoulder and cary it back to the shop to change the bearings on it.
Nowdays they tell me I have ostio-arthritus in my spine. Too much heavy work they tell me. They tell me I mustn't work that hard anymore.
So now I work smarter, not harder. That includes out smarting a chunk of wood.

Stupid and lazy? Not all of us. It's kinda ironic that the Japaneze fellow who made such a public denouncement of the American Workers was probably a decendent of those who the stupid and lazy American workers who brought the light of the nuclear age to their doorsteps in WW II.

Stupid and lazy? Yeah, I earned the right to be.

:D
