@JohnScottV Stupid question, how do you account for the amount of sag, when turning between centres with that amount of weight, and hold your tolerances?
-
Fantastic, and your description of that Skoda, I had no idea anyone made a horizontal lathe that big, an 11' diameter X 50'!
-
I can still see your email oops!!
-
I dont suppose you could show a vid of the grining machine for this? I cant believe you can take that bigger cut, how big are the tips on these things?
-
I like the clearance. :P
-
I've seen CNC lathes even bigger than that one. And vertical turret lathes whose tables are nearly fifty feet in diameter.

good vid thanks

Beautiful Machine. I can grind that bed within one tenth of a thousanth of an inch (.0001") over 32 ft, Kellar machine rebuild, We house one of the biggest slydway grinders in north america.

Nice Machine, let me know when its time for a rebuild! I'm equipped to comfortabley grind slydways, tables and all other grinding projects up to 32 feet, over 20 feet in ONE stroke.

It's really a big ol baby. easy to operate. Can be a bear to set-up sometimes. I love running it. We've got one lathe that is even bigger. It will swing about 135" x 50' long. It's not as accurate as the Skoda, but does a pretty good job. I'll try to get some photos of it on here soon. Thanks for the comment,
Scott
