I have a beginner's question.
I only see lathes measured in inches; inches of swing and length of bed. I have not seen a mention of pounds. Is it considered that the makers build lathes strong enough for any slug of steel that can be made to fit over the saddle and between the centers? If there is a weight limit, how does the operator determine it?
Thank you,
Brian
