you think this is big enough for the home model shop? my dad bought it last week from an heavy equipment dealer in town. its capacity is 36.5 in and 84in between centers. and it will go down to 6rpm and has a 25hp motor. it was built in nov1941 and was origanally installed in an allis chalmers factory in springfield, ill. we like to never got it into his shop, damaged both the weather strip above the garge door and the panel beside it(16'x12' door) its weight (about 20,000lbs) overloaded the biggest forklift avalible by about 5000lbs. but because of its size,age and difficulty in moving lathes of this size can be purchased at a more than reasonable price. just wanted to share.
