It is mentioned in the project list and grouped with the Multi-machine, and Torch Table, but when going to that project's page, there is no mention of it at all, not even in the outline...

    The Openfarmtech.org site does have pages for it at http://openfarmtech.org/index.php/Lathe, and after looking at those, I sincerely hope that that design is still open for discussion for safety's sake of whomever will end up building and trying to use such.

 It may be more practical to build a specialized Multi-machine, just for lathe work, than to build that design as written, and certainly much safer to operate such, but the design as shown on the existing page looks like it was drawn up by someone who does CAD drafting well, but has never actually used a heavy-duty lathe, and that design as drawn will surely fly apart at high speed with fatal results to the operator and extensive property damage if one should ever put 20 hp in at the input shaft...

     Please add it to the Flexible Industry Project list?  Or is that something that anyone can do?

Thanks,
