It will be about 280mm I reckon, mine is 290 over the saddle so...That does not look too big, until you see the bloke standing next to it

That could turn most small workshop lathes
I have seen the lang lathe and stood next to it. It's a monster...I believe its 35hp
Even a small lathe will mess you up and my dsg’s could be dangerous but the lang is the first machine ive been decidedly nervous of!
I dont have a lang lathe...yet.
Tbh its a race the exporters win.I can see a race starting here, who will be the first to own a Lang A4 @pressbrake1 or @spencer 427
its a race the exporters win.
I’ve seen that video before, didn’t realise it was a Lang, excellent machine can hardly tell it’s working. Shame he didn’t show more of the setup in the video.
I you wanted to go to the shop tomorrow for a big heavy lathe are there any real options? Or would you be limited to dubious quality Chinese offerings?
Unfortunately not.I think DSG are still making some pretty big lathes.
Crazy @spencer 427 and myself went picking today. Unfortunately the owners are hoarders that like visitors and offers on their stuff but when it comes down to it too much attachment even though the machines have been buried for years
I begged them to sell me this 40+ swing x240 lang. even crazy spencer couldn’t get them to part with any machines!
Ive got shovel hands to give scale to the tool post

I have never seen a lathe so big. What a machine.

Old iron community and they needed a worm wheel made so they called meHow did you get on to them? Were they previously known to you, word of mouth etc?
