More of a discussion point than something I would consider doing.
Can you “change an Atlas 10” lathe into an Atlas 12” lathe?
it seems to me you could change the headstock, then install the taller 12” compound on the cross slide and finish with a 12” tailstock (or a larger tailstock base spacer).
Is it that simple or is there more I’m not seeing?
Again, just a discussion point, not planning on doing it.
