Do we have any type of lenght extension for our lathes? I dont recall seeing one on the site, but i might have missed it.

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.
