Recent posts above should dispel any consideration of the 7x"10" lathe. This variant, 7x10, has been so advertised for decades, and it is NOT 10", it is 8".?
Can someone explain how the length measurement is usually done, and how HF fudges that measurement to make 8 == 10 ? I'm convinced that I don't want one -- just trying to understand.

It is simple.
Center to Center.? Most lathes will never be used witch give max capacity.?
I found the Chinese manufacturers are using Chuck to Center witch is about 2?" shorter but calling it Center to Center.??
It like lathe I purchased in November they a 14" tech data is 13.8" Chuck to Center.? But use Centers it is Center to Center is almost 16" .
So you can buy a 10 cc lathe put Chuck on and it is 7?" . You have to read the tech data on each lathe.?
