I am thinking about buying this lathe to start chambering my own barrels or setting chambers back on factory barrels. I understand the spindle is only 1" but im not looking at chambering heavy barrels in it only sporter weight barrels. I would make an outboard spider and barrel through the headstock with a four jaw chuck. This seems like a perfect garage lathe for a personal hobbiest to chamber barrels any input?
Anyone with experience with this lathe or a lathe around this size can you please give some feed back?
