That's no Atlas lathe!
I suppose they can be large enough to mount the controls and pilot seat remote on a boring bar and stuff you down the end of a cylinder to cut internal threads but you should be in a cage so the chips don't kill you when they fall. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/wink.gif"%20alt="[/img]
How big would the "T" nuts be for that faceplate? Probably carry them one at a time and not in your pocket either. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smile.gif"%20alt="[/img]

Just because you don’t believe it - doesn’t mean it’s not so.

Poreba made a huge lathe as well. Didn't have a normal lathe bed per se, and you stacked hube plates under the head and tail stocks depending on how big the part was you wanted to turn. It was huge.

The biggest face plate I have seen was on a vertical lathe (burried in the floor) for turning the turret seal for an M1 tank... the seal is 16' dia.

Re: Lucky me.
I swear, some folks just have no respect for machinery. If I had a guy working for me and he insisted on standing or setting on my lathes cross slides I would fire him! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/wink.gif"%20alt="[/img]
Re: Lucky me.
Reminds me of an experimental big wooden crane I ran one time. Had a 340 foot boom on it and 90 foot jib. Took 16 oilers to keep it all running smooth. Every time an oiler would hire on they would issue him a slingshot. Reason for the sligshot was to keep them there woodpeckers off the boom !!!
