if your intent is to mostly turn outboard on the oneway, you probably should
look at the stubby also - there is a real advantage to being able to start
with a tailstock against the piece, or to start between centers and adjust a
bit as you go - turning outboard doesn't let you do either. There are some
other large capacity lathes if you hunt around for them.
the other note, is that if you are mostly turning outboard, why buy a
oneway? get something that does't have the ways and stuff that you won't be
using

I have been turning for several years on a Oneway 1224 and I am considering
moving up to a larger lathe. The two that I am considering the most is a
Oneway 2436 with the 44" outboard setup or the VB-36 with tail stock setup.
What do you guys think? Which is more user friendly? Which one is easier
to get parts for, etc? Thanks
