NO sliding. I think Oneway did offer an outboard tool rest, platform so you could turn on the other side of the headrest. But since it only has a 18" bed, you can stand at the end of the bed and reach the spindle easily. Its not like the bed is 36" long and you have to bend over it and reach. Would get a couple extra inches diameter on the outboard side. 10" over bed I think.

Yes Oneway definitely offers outboard turning on their big lathes. Outboard bed, base, tool rest, etc. BUT, I think they ALSO offered the outboard equipment for this tiny, little, itty bitty 1018 mini lathe too. I guess the outboard bed would make sense for this mini lathe if it also added a couple inches to the diameter. Went from 10" diameter up to 16" maybe. But I can't really remember what Oneway had in the past. This 1018 model is no longer sold by Oneway.
