[QUOTE="RoyB, post: 466815, member: 1632"] No offense taken.......... But... "I agree it would be a good entry level lathe but if the person became serious it wouldn't work that is why I recommend the larger spindle size and the longer bed to start with. " What would be considered "serious" that this lathe couldn't accomplish. A larger lathe can certainly cut faster and deeper, adding all kinds of stress to the barrel. But other than that, as long as this lathe can hold under .001" I bet you could build some nice rifles with it. Cannons..no- Rifles...yes Thanks for the conversation, it's good for the sport.........
