Hello

I am located in Indonesia and I am suppose to produce colomn in wood. The
maximum length of those column will be 7 meters and diameter 40. The
problem is that those column must be round.

Could you give me advice of the machine to choose? Do you know companies
selling second hand machines?

For information I am located in Indonesia.


Thanks in advance for your help.

The diameter is 40 meters? Or 40 centimeters?

With a length of ~23 feet, my guess is that you should contract this out
unless you have the ability to make a lathe for this job.

Contact the makers of sailboats masts, large turbines, and large boats.
They can probably turn a shaft of this size ... but it's going to cost you
plenty if they will even accept an order from you for the job.
