I went up to Z-bot in Austin today to check out the 15L lathe.
And I liked what I saw.
Their lathe has the full enclosure (prototype), and the 8 station turret setup.
Very nice.
I wanted to check it out in person, as I was concerned about the swing, and tool travel in X.
So I chucked up a 7.5 diameter ring, and yes, there was enough travel in X to turn the OD. (With the turret)
The swing was just over 15".
I also measured the footprint.
It measured 41" X 76".
Here's a pic of the full enclosure.
Remember, the full enclosure is still in the works, so I don't think it's ready for purchase yet. Be patient.
Thanks Bob for the demo.
