Is the bed on a HF 8x12 the same dimensions as the bed on a HF 7x10 ??
Nope, they are completely different machines.
Thats too bad as I am having problems finding accessories for the 8x12. I can find lots of things for the 7x10. Maybe I should have purchased the smaller lathe..
Specifically I am looking for a steady rest and I was thinking of buying a cheap accessory for the 7x10 and cutting the "foot" off of it to build a base for a home made steady rest.
Oh well, back to the drawing board.
