True, but now you have a 16" lathe! :) I wouldn't call that a bad thing, as
long as you get to make use of it for other stuff (and I know I would).
One of the best parts about where I go to school is we have a very nice
machine shop, 2 lathes, 3 mills (2 of those CNC) and a lot of other
metalworking machines, plus a woodworking shop as well, and as long as you
provide your own materials you can use it for whatever you want, for free.
Not a bad deal at all.
