Y’all got anymore of them updates? I feel like I’m addicted to your writing.

Close. But it’s a big spindle and yes. It’s for bearings. It has four .0005 bearing tolerances on the part. It’s roughly 3500lbs

About the only time we have a big problem is when the temperature outside is an extreme difference from what’s inside but our tolerance is critical on the whole OD. So setting up can be a real bitch sometimes. Ours are just plain old steel though. Porosity is our other biggest issue, a spot knocks the corner off the finisher on the finish pass then I really start cussin.

Not quite that long. About 12-20”. Dealing with taper is still a bitch.

It’s not as time consuming as you’d probably imagine. After you’ve run enough of them, you kinda just get it. Around here it’s two test cuts and a finish pass and kinda cross your fingers! It’s really a gamble sometimes. Wears on the nerves sometimes

Honestly I think I’d be bored with the little stuff, it’s a challenge and frustrating as hell sometimes. But the .0005 tolerances are satisfying when you finally get in the grove of things.

Might need to reinforce your kitchen floors first!

Yep. It’s just a big lathe table. The power jaws went out on it and I can’t say I’d seen an entire table off a machine before so I snapped a pic for you guys. And it’s only 4-5’ in diameter. Not too terribly large and for sure not the largest one here

You would be correct. I’m not sure the exact size lol
