This is the big lathe. if it was in a larger room, an extension can be added and pieces up to 8 feet long can be turned. The meat grinder is removable. In high gear it can grind 600 pounds an hour.

you can turn a single long piece, or a bowl on each side, or have a bowl on one side and table leg on the other.
