Large lathe needed for 510mm Dia tooling
Hi all,
I reckon this is a great place to ask this kind of question, so here goes......
I'm having problems having something turned on a lathe, the tooling company I was going to use don't have a large enough lathe or chuck?
for the steel tool i need making it's 510mm diameter.
Does anyone know of tool makers or a company with a lathe large enough to cope?
Thanks in advance.

Car 90% complete!!!

We use Gee Engineering for our big stuff, don't know how far they go but I think they could cope with that OK.
They are in Nottingham NG7.
They have a basic website with their details on but I can't post a link - it comes up in Google easy enough.
HTH.

I'm sure I heard (quite sometime ago) someone on here worked for a place that had a lathe with a 6' chuck.
I could be mistaken though.
