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. Tonio |

Tonio 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. Bill |

Hi Tonio
I used some setup to turn the diesel locomotive floor/frames around for ease of welding and a basically similar setup would work for you. If you can handle the log you must have some equipment around, bolt on a wheel rim on both ends have them run on 2 smaller wheels each, now a tractor or other with a PTO and a drive shaft with a couple universal joints, bolt that to the log and you are basically in business, just a movable tool rest and away you go. You will have fun and you better take good care !! LEo Van Der Loo Tonio wrote: Hello I am located in Indonesia and I am suppose to produce colomn in wood.
