Title says it. Some one called it a pattern making Lathe. It's the biggest I've ever seen. I didn't think to get a link. But check out the FOG, it's a great forum like this one.

Zimmermann with 40" swing and 60" between centers and 5hp along with pattern making carriage...boy would I like to have that beast! I might consider turning that into a monster CNC lathe where I let the cnc do some of the roughout son big pieces.

It's even bigger than that one. One of the usual suspects you probably recognize Olaf. I'm surprised it hasn't surfaced on OWWM. Big lathe with a great electronic stop built in.

Edit: well that didn't take long. It's now on another popular commerce site.
