Question about wood lathe?
Does anyone know when they say that the wood lathe had a 42 inch between centers it is actually 42 inches or is it less. Becasuse I want to get a lathe and want to add a 20 inch bed extension to make it 62 inches and I want to be sure that there is at least 62 inches between center so I can make newl post that are 5 ft high.
Distance between centers can vary slightly.
Actual length of workpiece depends on how deep you can get a spur center into the wood & if you use a cup type or ball bearing
dead center.
Have counterbored a “socket” for live center to pick up a couple of inches.
Working length of the bed rail from headstock to end would need to include length of tailstock & live & dead centers.
Basically, a 42″ lathe w/ a 20″ extension may not give you a 62″ working length.
Go to supplier & ask if tjhey will set one up ‘& take measurements.
Might try a 2 piece approach esp if you have a thin tapered piece in mind.
It will not “whip” as much as a long skinny piece.
Good luck
