[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1546719, member: 78569"] No doubt for a real shop. I do not find this to be the case by any means for personal use. Or at least it doesn't have to be. Having a bore of 1.5" is the ticket to shorten the bed length. However, I wouldn't recommend anything less than a 12x36. I've seen old lathes on CL and ebay but they don't have the bore size and really do they then have the length for steady rest chambering. +1 on the gear head for changing feeds and threads [/QUOTE]
