I also use it for modeling (Games Workshop; mostly grinding and cutting) and it won't fit anything smaller than a 3/16" drill bit. Although if you're looking at buying this, I hope you don't need it for more than 5 minutes, otherwise the battery will die.

This is an adapter that goes on the shaft of 1725 rpm 1/2 hp standalone motor so that you can attach buffing wheels, wire brushes etc. It is not appropriate for a lathe.It goes on a 5/8 inch shaft.

I think there is one available .... I made one for mine ... fastened 2x4's on the legs and really heavy casters (to raise the ways to my preferred height) from Home Depot on the 2x4's. One additional note - as the lathe is 220V you might want to consider a really long heavy power cable (mine is 20 ft) - saves having to rewire the shop more than necessary. It's a great lathe - you'll never need another.

No. You would definitely want at least 32". It depends how tall he is. If he's pushing 6 foot, you might opt for a 34" and he can choke up on the bat a bit. Or at least 33".

This is a fastpitch bat with a drop 10, so yes it is 34 inches and 24 ounces.

I am only estimating this because I am away from the shop for a while. I think that the vice is approximately 5" high. Therefore you would need a drill press that can provide the 5" vice height plus the length that the drill bit protrudes from the chuck plus the total height of the item you wish to drill into when it is clamped into the vice. My thought is that you would probably need a press that could give at least a 12" clearance from the chuck to the table and that might not be enough depending on what you want to drill into. That's my best guess.

the jig is only about an inch in depth. any ordinary drill bits will be long enough.

This machine has a 8" swing that means from center to lathe bed it's 4" and you would add another 4 = swing. The longer you go is fine for spindle work but if you plan on hollowing the piece it gets tight when working deep areas past 4". I bought a set of hand chisels for sculpting that were very thin and good quality metal and then made longer handles for them this helped during hollowing my past projects however the tail-stock gets in the way as well as the tightening mechanize on the top of the tail-stock. Additionally I maxed out the width with a round object and works great just testing the limits of the lathe but none round objects make the lathe walk away.

The length it will hold will be dependant upon what chucks you have in the head and tail stock. The bulkier the chucks, the shorter the length it will handle. I'd say it will hold 12" lengths unless your chucks are sizable. I wouldn't try more than 4" width stock unless it was short. Although the lathe may hold the stock, it would be too much for the motor. The intended purpose of this lathe is to make small things like ink pens, Christmas ornaments, small toys like tops or yo-yo's and tool handles etc. If you want to mount 12" X 8" stock you should be looking at full sized lathes.

Shaft size is 3/8 dia. Can use a 3/8 battery powered drill, but a 1/2 inch is better in hard clay soil.

The pins on the artista wheel are 3/8 inch pins on a 10 inch center, which is standard. Standard bats have the pin holes at this spacing no matter how big or small the diameter of the bat. The problem you run into is the size of the splash pan (the brown plastic, 2 piece, removal pan around the wheel head). A 7.5 or 9 inch square bat fits nicely, but I find it makes me dizzy watching the corners go around. Other people say it doesn't bother them. A 12 inch round bat fits perfectly. BUT, a 14 inch bat may hit the splash pan. I never tried one, but measured just now and it is close enough to be questionable. You can take the splash pan off and then you could use it - but then all the wet glop would fly off onto you and the surrounding area. Any larger than 14 inches would not fit at all because the motor mount that sticks up would be in the way. I recommend the 12 inch bats. Don't get the 10 inch Shrimpo Aspire bats - they WILL NOT fit. Don't panic if the new bats fit very tight. I had to gently sand a couple bat holes to get them to fit. But tight is good. Loose bats make it very hard to throw. You don't want any wiggle.

I own a husqvarna 460 with a 24 inch bar. After mounting the chainsaw mill I get about a 17 inch width that I can cut.

Yes, I would thing if you fine a Jacob chuck you can use large size bitts, or drivers. I wouldn't go above 1/4 in metal or 3/4" in wood. Another drill to look at is the Festool CSX drill kit, it gives you several options.. but The Bosch is a great go to drill. Battery will last and last.

Total length from tip of saw blade to end of motor case must be less than 38 inches in length.

I consider these to be strictly hand tools for use with a mallet. I do not think the wood/metal joint on the handle would stand up to lathe work.
