MAN!!! I need ta' restock the lathe room, LOL

THAT beast is a vertical lathe, normally found in rail and ship yards. Stunning part is it has a single cutting plunger, most have 2......and, no head stock on that bad boy![/QUOTE]


When we designed the rebuild we left the ram on the left out because it would not fit under that section of roof with the cross-rail all the way up. All the parts for the second z axis are sitting on the top of the machine. Sometime in the future we want to design the second z axis for live tooling and either shorten its stroke or modify the roof so it will fit.
