It is 10HP and will swing 19" over the bed, I think 10" or so over the cross slide. I dont know what it will swing with the gap out because it will never be out as long as I own it. 60" betwen centers amd 3" through the headstock. For reasons unknown to me Summit calls it a 16" lathe. Made in Burgaria and very high quality and priced accordingly. To give you an idea of it size that is a 5 1/4" bore sleeve I am boring in the pic.

I bought it new and it was just shy of 20K 6 years ago. Lots of money but I had work for it that paid well. I wouldn't trade it for a semi load of lessor lathes, it's a dandy.

Butch, waaaaa y back when, lathe makers (real ones) used to size their lathes in a way that actually stated what you could DO with them. They sized them not to the infinitessimal fraction of how big a part would clear the ways from exact center (sales gimmick), but what the biggest faceplate they could swing was. For L&S, LeBlond, and Monarch actual swing was 2" beyond the stated size. Apparently, Summit has done the same thing.

Here's my 90 yr old grandaddy of your machine, an 18" L&S selective head...

Too slow for carbide, but it's downright scary with HSS cutters, 1/4" deep cuts in steel without a whimper.

And my mill, ever seen one of these? heheh...

These are a couple of my personal babies that live at home. Got work goodies, too.

That rod came out of an engine that was freshly rebuilt and then sat for many years outside. The crank was unsavable it was so bad but I managed to save the rods by removing about 060 in shims and then reboring to the original size, saved an expensive babit job. If you need some babbit work done right and for decent money I can get you a name and number in OK. shooot me an email for info.
