Lodge & Shiply from the early 1900's.
Will turn 26" dia.
With the chuck off will handle better than 100"

Have been looking it over and thinking of setting it next to the Bot X axis and mounting the router off the end of the Z.

First issue I have to work out is the overall length of the bugger is around 14ft. Going to spill over into the wife's parking spot in the garage. Note to self, need bigger garage.

Ok, so I am a bit of a Amateur Industrial archaeologist. What can I say, I like old heavy iron.
