I did think of something. I got my big lathe because I wanted to be able to do long shafts and big turnings. For me I do a lot of small stuff. bushings making pins. The bigger lathes don't do that quite as well. ON my big lathe my chuck will not go down tight enough to hold a 1/4 dia rod. If I had it to do over again I would buy a smaller lathe and go bigger if i needed it. That said i did buy both of the older lathes and phase converter for about the same money as the smithy.
