I ran a Delta cast iron based lathe with a large Vega dup. The lathe is around 3 hp and was turnig at 4000 rpms. It had a large carbide indexable insert in the dup.
I turned and sanded an A40 in 40 seconds. One pass and a light sanding/ The steb cemter allows loading and unloading with the spindle at full rpms. It was awesome. The machine is defenite overkill for plug building but it was fun!
