  As a seasoned YouTube commenter, it seems like the logical thing to do is to get two more identical free lathes, and then lapping the three beds together on a huge custom jig.

  The fact your wife cares and actually knows what you&apos;re talking about is the win.

  I have been a machinist since 1976 and have never had a job with that tight of a tolerance over a continuous length such as that bar. All the jobs I have done, whether they were long or short shafts, the tight tolerances were always confined to short segments of the shaft, so your lathe is probably going to be able to handle any job that comes through the door.

  Having a precision lathe in the shop has a price.. <br>having a brutally honest, smart, caring, supportive, beautiful wife in the shop…. Priceless.<br>Another super impressive video on the books. Loved it Sir. <br>🍻

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLMvbief6fQ&amp;t=1380">23:00</a> I laughed at the wife&apos;s remark here. I&apos;m a hobby machinist. I took a welding class at our local community college. Preparing to cut a piece of plate for my course project, I pulled out a bottle of Dykem and my layout tools to scribe my planned cuts. On seeing this, my welding instructor said, &quot;This is why I don&apos;t like working with machinists. In my world, plus-or-minus a quarter inch is considered precision work.&quot;

  I love the new intervention-style talking to the camera routine. I feel like I&apos;m a <b>special</b> person meeting my first <b>special</b> person

  Machinist here that has run a HLV-H for many years at work and a 10ee at home. It’s fine, run it. If you need .0000 precision you are going to grind it with the tool post grinder anyway. It has enough stick out to keep the carriage out of that low spot.

  As a machinist, I look forward to the day that disassembling the lathe and sending the bed off, makes it on to the side projects tally. That will definitely be an enjoyable project to watch.
