Nova DVR XP - length

[Chris Nissen]

I am a noob but I am thinking about it seriously.

I have been trying to find an overall length and I thought, "I may as well ask".

My Question:
If anybody has one without the bed extension could you go out to the shop and take a measurement for me?
Please tell me the length. I am trying to determine if it will fit on my current bench.

Any other advice or comments are helpful. They are on sale right now for $1699. Sounds like good idea.

thanks:D

Mine measures 64" from the headstock leaving 3" for the hand wheel on the headstock to the end of the bed extension. Love my extension as it will get the tailstock out of the road for turning without having to take it off.

+1 on the bed extension used to get the tailstock out of the way without taking it off. Big time saver.
