What would be an appropriate size lathe for general gunsmithing work- work like chambering and threading barrels, crowning, facing actions- not necessarily barrel "turning" as you can get just about any profile barrel you want. I know that the spindle hole size is paramount with the swing over the bed much less important.
And secondly, would you suggest a used older South Bend with a small spindle hole or a new asian machine with a signficantly larger spindle hole?
Thanks!
