That chatter gives the rims a rather unique finish, they look great.
What's the swing (over the bed) on the lathe?
It's a big machine. It wouldn't be the easiest turning job gripping the inner edges.
Saying that a local engineer is selling a turret lathe, the thing is 30 feet long or thereabouts (I forget) and he said he's had offers of $2,000. It comes with $40K+ worth of chucks and tooling, I'm going to need a bigger garden shed. My cheap Chinese thing I have cost me a lot more than $2K (currently up around $8K with tooling and compound table and vice for accompanying milling machine).
