Default Kyle gets the mini lathe home....

A show on television showed a lathe turning a drive shaft for an
aircraft carrier. Now that was a tad too large for me.


How about a milling machine large enough to profile and balance an aircraft
carrier propeller?

Yep, a bit big for me, too.

I wonder if that 4 foot lathe was used for truing compressor wheels from jet
engines?
