1) What is an 'out' lathe???

2) Assuming you meant 'our' lathes, Extend what? Distance center to center,? no! This 'issue' was raised on another thread - no GOOD answers yet.

Hi wildcard,

As Red already said, no, SS does knot provide a way to extend the bed of the lathe. There are work-arounds. Nick Engler has posted on this site a method to increase the bed length (see post #10). In another more recent thread, there was talk of extending the way and bench tubes. I hope this helps.
