I can't be of any help. The only machining we do is on a type of machine they don't make anymore I don't think. Vertical lathe made for doing driveshaft and flange work in WWII. Still going strong and does what we need for turning plate we but on the plasma table to manway flanges and pipe flanges up to 6' diameter quick and dirty.
is that the same thing as a turret lathe? That's probably porn for somebody here
