I have a 15" Craftsman lathe. There is an outboard attachment for it to
allow turning bowls up to 20". Sears does carry it for $70+tax. Too
rich for me. If anyone has a used one kicking around, I'd be in the
market.

Thanks
Mike

I have the 15" Craftsman. Nice lathe. However, I think you would be better
off with a free standing tool rest than the outboard attachment.

Owning the 15" Craftsman myself and also owning the outboard turning
attactment I would have to agree with Darrell on this that the free standing
tool rest would be the better way to go. There is to much vibration with the
outboard tool rest attatchment.

Thanks for your input. I appreciate it. I haven't turned anything
outboard yet but my last project involved a 38" X 14 1/2" piece and I
think I'm ready to put my life on the line..yet again!

Thanks.

Mike
