What is the max distance between centers. ie, the longest stock you can turn without an extension ?

Assuming a small head and tail stock, you can turn between 16.5 and 18 inches. The difference is the amount of waste needed after the piece has been turned.

The distance between centers is 16.5 inches, but with the bed extension it can go up to 42 inches. Hope this helps. BTW, this is truly a great lathe for the money. Heavy for stability and with variable speed and forward and reverse it is a workhorse. Jerry Mullikin

16 1/2". Add one extension and it goes up to 42". You can even add another extension if you want.

The max distance is 16 1/2 inch between centers but will also vary depending on what type chuck or tail stock center you have mounted. I strongly suggest not buying this Delta 46-460. Mine has been in the Authorized Service Center since Oct 2013. Parts are not available and Delta is having problems. I have since bought a Jet -1221VS lathe. Much better machine!

I would say 14" is probably the safest and maximum stock you could turn between centers. This is a great lathe if you looking to purchase one.

As far as I know, the stock is removable. However, the extendable stock conversions I have seen before are around as expensive as buying an M14 ebr in the first place. I would shop around here and Evike/airsoftgi/wherever before making a decision.

It is extendable, roughly anywhere from one to three feet. It bends in any direction.

There is no mi9nimum or maximum width, if you don't use the bar base, that goes between the bars. The bars are remarkable useful for brush, logs, moving potted trees, pallets etc. I would highly recommend them. When I bought them the freight was included and they are heavy. Brian

The stock extends 7.625 inches from the front of the sight block. Or 13 inches from where the barrel is threaded into the receiver.

Each leg is made of 3 sections. Each section then has a twist lock cam to hold the extension at whatever desired length (0-13"). Maximum extension is just over 36" with all 3 sections fully extended.

The Thule ha a clamp centerline distance of 28". The clamps can move forward or backward a total of 4" in either direction. This means the minimum center line is about 20" and the maximum center line is about 36"

These are Large with both short grips. I have twist shifts on both sides. The best in the world. Well worth the cost.

I checked. I have 2 in there with barrels at opposite ends. That's the max. No way to get more than 2.

There is no max length on thickness. The jig uses an alignment pin so after you cut your first set you can move the jig for the rest if the tails that need to be cut down the piece.

Not quite 3' fully extended. Long enough my wife can sit on the seat of our side-by-side recreational vehicle & measure our yard for application of weed killer w/no problem. It's a really well made measuring wheel that I've had for over a year. Zero problems & very accurate.

Depends on what you are asking about. The cross slide that the tool post is mounted to travels beyond any practical use for machining. From the "standard" chuck face, which of course you cannot machine all the way up to, to the tail stock is in the 21-22 inch range. Practical use of 20" is a pretty good number. Maybe slightly more. If you need 2 ft get a different lathe. If you are asking about the tail stock, it can be moved anywhere on the bed and locked down and it will travel roughly 2 1/4 inches. I think they actually list some absurdly short travel for that.

From bolt across to bolt at a diagonal .so should skip one bolt when measuring center to center

Thanks for the clarification. I didnt know if that was the limit or not, i assumed i could at least get some directional control but i guess not.

I have looked around and have found no sellers for just the retractable stock. My best suggestion is to buy a cheaper version that costs a lot less just for the stock if that is what you're looking for.

Note that the specs in the manual list 18" between centers. However, with a safety drive installed at the headstock and the included live center installed at the tail, and with the rear end of the tailstock set flush with the rear end of the bed, I measure 14-1/2" between the points of the centers. Distance will vary somewhat depending on what centers are installed at each end. There is also a bed extension available for this lathe although I don't have that.
