Is 10" through large enough for you?

I don't have one, but a Warner & Swasey 2A would probably be about right.

Stumbled across a video about a month ago from some guy on YouTube, not one of the big guys at a shop near Houston. Machinery place, had about 35 big turret lathes. Just tons of the things. Figured he must be out of his mind. If I can find a link I will edit and you can contact them if you like.

EDIT, found it. Double EDIT. Not the right one. Think it was D&D Machine Tool in south Houston. Can't find the video where they were walking through a warehouse full of turret lathes. Not familiar with the guy so not sure were it is.

What's your estimated budget? It would be nice if you could give me a range of your budget, and year.

Thanks
