Hey guys hows it going? I have always like woodworking as a hobby. I have always always like using lathes like making spindles ect.....I want to upgrade and make a large lathe to make something like large columns like 8-10 feet. Right now I work in a custom welding and maching shop so making the frame for the machine and making heavy is no problem my problem is what motor what do I need????????
I have no clue what motor I would need to turn a part that size like would a normal lathe motor due or maybe do I need something bigger ect? Please help me what do I need?
thanks guys
