Absolutely. This is not the weenie midi that they make for small lathes Billy it's a heavy duty unit. Would not have a problem turning bats. I've turned 4.5" basswood blocks for those mambo poppers. There is a video on youtube that shows it. Look for #^^^^^^^^^^^& artillery shells
Question is will your lathe keep up with it
If I hadn't already taken it off the machine I'd let you come up and try it but it's too late there's 2 days of work into the cnc project now.
