    Maximum metal removal on lathe

    are you entering some youtube competition? if a beginner, you will quickly find out that removing as little as possible is the goal. metal is expensive. if you are really serious, take the machine off the (probably?) sheetmetal stand and make a base out of epoxy-granite for it. slap on a 25mm...

    Do they sell spindle noses?

    so instead of moving the workpiece you move the chuck? why not put the whole lathe on the mill? imho a useless aproach. if you have a decent 3-jaw on the lathe and rotaty, no need for that. and if your lathe chuck is decent, you will avoid dismounting it, because you loose precision. e.g. you...
