[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 201987, member: 2580"] Eddybo, one thing that would be a tie-breaker for me would be the length of the spindle. My lathe only has a 1 1/2" bore diameter, but is 25 inches from the back end of the spindle to the face of the chuck jaws. I can't recrown anything with a barrel less than 25" without stripping the receiver off or removing the reversible jaw inserts and chucking on the inner teeth of the main part of the chuck jaws. I can crown a 24" barrel by doing that, but I don't like messing around with the chuck. Assuming equal accuracy for either lathe, I would choose the one with the shortest spindle. Whatever you decide, it is good to have your own machine. Tom [/QUOTE]
