Rich I think the S11 could take it, at the spindle bore you have the spindle could very well be the same as the V13, which would mean the same bearings, Steel bodied? No they aren’t, some have CI bodies, on the V10, NO, I think this would be pushing it, (but the S11 appears to be more than an upgrade to the V10, more like a cross between the V10 and V13, but I have never seen an S11 in real life,) this thing is heavy, and you don’t want to drop it on your toes! At maximum safe opening the jaws clear the bed of the V13, but at 13” swing this has extra center height compared to the S11, I will measure the max OD across the jaws at maximum opening and get back to you, I had a thought, I will check on whether or not I can get the body for the turret stop flame cut and how much it will cost, shipping costs could be the problem, but others might be interested if the price is right.

Steel-bodied as opposed to ?? Aren't they all?

So can you tell me how far the jaws stick out on the 8"?? Of course one will always rotate by hand first, so I don't really know why I'm concerned.? Biggest concern I think is the mass of an 8", is it a match for the S11.? Would you consider putting the 8" onto the V10?
