How is a lathe measured? I see one that is 7" x 10", then another more
expensive one that is 8" x 12". Where are such measurements taken and
what
would be the differences?

Thank you.

OK, further in the description, I see where it says:

Distance between centers: 10''
Swing over bed 7"

So, naturally, one questions causes more. Are lathes normally measured like
this?

What is a "swing over bad"??

Thank you.
