The "length" is the maximum length you can turn between dead centers with the tail stock fully seated at the far right of the bed; no chuck, and if your tail stock center doesn't seat with the tail

"Can someone explain how the length measurement is usually done, and how HF fudges that measurement to make 8 = 10?" I don't think it's fudging. The standard method for lathe capacity has always been
