Default Call me nuts: turning in a mill :-)

I saw a VERTICAL LATHE on the
floor. It was made in Germany, but I don't remember the name. As I
recall, the thing was about 15 ft. tall and perhaps 6 ft. across.


Oh, so little? We call the karussel-lathe (merry-go-round-lathe). I have
seen bigger ones with 3..4m diameter.
Beside the mill where you walked on the table. And the operator took a
chair to the place where he worked _on_ _the_ _table_. BWM had that
monster.
