Some of you may know but I restore ancient outboard motors. I prefer those from 1924 and older, as the parts have to be made in order to repair the motors.
That being said, the 10 inch, just does not have enough throw to allow me to machine the flywheels when refinishing or machining new castings. I honestly have not looked at Logan's offerings of the vintage era to see if they made a 12 or 14 inch lathe with a bed turret and 36 inch bed, assuming they had the option of a taper attachment as one of my other projects is threading on a taper. I am not necessarily brand loyal either... What was available?
