I have a large bowl lathe that is taking up room in the shop. It seem
like every time I go out there it gets smaller. Here is a link to the
Craig list site.

Richard - what sized bowls was this designed to handle? I ask
because the motor seems small, there is no description of how it is
weighted, and variable speed is not mentioned (starting a rough 36"
blank at 1100 rpm could be an enlightening experience!)

Thanks - - Hought

As It says 45" center to floor. So if you want to spin 90" that up to
you(not me). I have turned 36" X 9" and 20" X 12" on it. My usually size
was around 14-16" X 8 - 10". The low speed is around 300 rpm. The motor
is from the 50's I think. big and heave. Weird rpms 1160. I haven't ever
stalled it out. I did bend a tool and break the outboard stand on a
catch. Variable speed wasn't a choice when I built it. I have about 300
lb in the base.(not included)
