Thanks so much for the demo of the outboard function! Seriously considering this lathe but the one thing that is still causing me to hesitate is there is no tail-stock support when going outboard. Seems to me the larger the piece you turn the greater the need for tail support, no? So I guess here is my question: Apparently there is a 20" bed extension available for this lathe, just wondering if it would fit on the outboard and therefore allow room for the tailstock to be moved over to that end too?? If so I think I'd be all in with no further hesitations on this lathe. (I could see how nice neat wood like you used wouldn't need tailstock, im just thinking of the larger less 'round' pieces). OH PS if you did read this far (sorry for being long-winded) Absolutely gorgeous bowl!! Why hadn't I thought of that chip-dip bowl turning project haha Great job man!
Thank you and hmmm.... interesting concern and I see your point. I have two projects (waiting on wood to dry, at least a little bit) that will require outboard turning. One is going to be very heavy and wonky, so it'll be interesting to see how the lathe handles it. As for answering your question, the 20" bed extension seems like a logical choice (which I may actually need for the one project). However, switching the tailstock around to the outboard side, it would be to low below center and would need something to lift it. The precision of alignment to center the tailstock could be an issue too. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you. If you read this far, great question. ;)
@@movingchips Oh yah i hadn't thought of the fact the Tail-stock being too low! It seems my clever solution was not so clever afterall :p Thanks for taking the time on a reply! Looking forward to seeing how your projects turn out! :)
Alan is right. The 12 is the regular swing and the 16 is the outboard swing. I have this lathe and absolutely love it. Major upgrade from my old Harbor Freight budget machine.
Great project and great tips👍👍
Thanks 👍
Muy bonita compañero, 👍👍👍
Muchísimas gracias
Nice job!
Thanks!
Wow, cool capability with the lathe. Nice chunk of wood, love that chatoyance! Well done buddy!
Thanks 👍
Beautiful chip and dip bowl. Great job. I want to outboard turn now. Take care.
Give it a go! On your lathe I'm sure you can turn something HUGE
12” swing. Well done on the chip’n’dip bowl. Merry Christmas!
12" SWING! I'm messing up all over the place. Video wasn't suppose to go out until 10am, oh well. Merry Christmas
What a beautiful piece, really like that finish
Glad you like it
Great looking piece. Nice work
Thank you! Cheers!

The 16 is the outboard swing I I have this lathe.
I do love the option of the lathe

when you turned it around to turn the inside of the bowl were you using a jaw chuck in the mortise you cut?
Yes... that's my favorite way to connect the work piece
Do you turn in reverse or forward when turning on the outboard side?
Its in the forward swing. You know something, I still haven't had chips in this. The wife took it and uses it for something else. LOL
You can actually get about a 12 1/2 round blank above the bed on that lathe. Its swing not throw.
Good to know. Thx
