Yep - Ken summed it up nicely.
I currently have the luxury of having a friends 8" lathe in my workshop, as he hasn't sorted out his own workshop yet. I do joke with him that I could turn it between centres on my lathe but I will miss it when he moves it to his shop.
I've toyed with the thought of retrofitting mine to run on modern bearings (which would allow for more RPMs) but I think the better solution would be to upgrade.
I'd certainly relieve Ken of his Victor to facilitate his acquisition of a CNC lathe but then getting it here would be an interesting proposition...
