When I was set my shop I had a lathe 13x40 with 1 5/8" hole 5 HP. left over from my old business. I look at the fact I would be alone in my shop. This lathe would eat any up with just a mistake. I sold this lathe and bought a 9" South Bend with only 1/2 HP. With this size lathe if I make mistake I am only looking at stitches and staples. I know what large lathe can do to me. It may on some take more time and maybe one or two times a year I may need a large lathe. I just think of the safety on that day. To dated I have not need a large lathe and bought a 9" South Bend in 2003.
