Curious about the picture. I see the lathe mizer thing. The bright
orange and black thing. But is the light orange and gasoline motor
thing on the trailer the Wood mizer slabbing machine that cuts logs
into boards? And both just happen to be shown in the picture. Not
sure how you would use it as a lathe since there is no toolrest. It
might be an OK tool for making fence posts.

not knowing anything about have to guess that there are attachments

but would not be too hard to create a toolrest


YouTube has a few videos of the Lathe Mizer (LM) in operation. The LM is
attached between the ways of the Wood Mizer (WM), a horizontal band saw.
A log is mounted on the LM, the motor turns the log relatively slowly
while the WM chews its way down the log, parallel to the axis. The
result is a turned pole or log, as used mostly in log homes. Sort of a
limited use case.
