Mine's used on a horizontal mill for turning jobs, flats on top and bottom clamp to the table. In the lathe photo, it's threading a chuck backing plate for that mill. 4 TPI threaded nose, I needed something pretty rigid and that bar was handy.
This is an 8" chuck mounted to that plate and dressed up as an adjustable flycutter, swinging about 12 inches here. I've used this to face automotive cylinder heads, hydraulic motors/pumps and other stuff, leaves a nice finish if the material co-operates.
Size does matter. <chuckle>
