I see a lot of similar 13 x 36 lathes marketed as gunsmith lathes. The long bed seems to be a feature. It's my understanding a tailstock would be needed for long workpieces, but won't need one right away. http://www.grizzly.com/products/12-x-36-Gunsmithing-Lathe/G0750G I have a Hardinge linuxHNC screw machine for short work so I'm covered there. http://www.wallacecompany.com/cnc_lathe/HNC/ -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
