I have run into a time or two where I need a slightly longer lathe than my Homier 7 x 12. I was thinking of taking what little extra I have at end of next month to buy the 16" bed kit from LMS. I figure it would be cheaper than trying to find another lathe that I can't really afford. Need a steady rest also. But might have to wait til end of December for that.
Has anyone done the 16" swap? If so, was it worth it?
I know it will mean putting off buying a mill til next year, as long as nothing else goes wrong by then. But I wouldn't have enough for a cheap mill til next spring anyway.
