One lathe is an original with brass bed and cross slide. The other I got recently and is a current production model 4400. Its dimensions are

Hole through spindle                     .405” (10 mm)
Crosslide travel                         4.25” (110 mm)
Spindle nose external thread             3/4 -16
Spindle nose internal taper              #1 Morse
Hole through spindle                     .405” (10 mm)
Tailstock spindle int. taper             #0 Morse
Cutting tool size                        1/4” (3/8” optional)
Electronically controlled spindle speed  70-2800 RPM
Length overall                           32.5” (826 mm)
Width overall                            10.55” (267 mm)
Height overall                           8.5” (216 mm)

but I added a "riser set" which gives an additional 1.25 inches from the bed to the spindle center.

DavidA:
Looks as if those that have them are happy with the machines.
No one has pointed out any problems.

Now,  if only they didn't cost so much.

Dave.
