Size does matter, space is important a couple of days ago I used my large linisher job done in 5 minutes in my case that was great using Burl. My Hercus lathe like Alex Lathe takes up about the same space had it now for 24 yrs it has proved to be a top buy made in 1967. For many years I used a bandsaw that had 3 feet wheels an ancient C frame it stood over 7 feet high these days I do not break down huge burls. When you purchase like cars you get the one that fits the task and over time they prove their worth. Both our vehicles have travelled in excess of 150.000 kms one is 1999 and the other 2001.
