A guy I used to work with emailed me asking about lathes. In the exchange he mentioned he wants to be able to turn pieces longer than 60". Any ideas other than doing two pieces and joining them together?
Lathe for long work

This is the page the pic is from. It's the middle of the story but there are navigation buttons at the bottom.

One option would be a Nova lathe like the DVR or 3K models as they allow for adding bed segments. You could make it as long as you wanted.Comment
