I have been trying to tell people this for years, especially beginners
just coming into the hobby. My area activity is live steam engine building
which includes not only locomotives in large and small scales but tabletop
sized mill and marine engines and fittings. At least 80% of the turning
work I do could be handled on a 6" or smaller lathe (and much is). Sure
the other 20% has to be done on larger machines but if a guy doing the work
that I do got hold of a real good smaller lathe, just for starters, it
would continue to be useful for the rest of his machining life.
