What a Big Nose

But when you have big parts to turn, that’s a good thing. This is the A2-11 spindle nose of a Haas ST-40 lathe with Big Bore option. The ST-40 Big Bore provides a 7" spindle bore (without rotating union and workholding), and accepts an 18" chuck. In the background are a pair of A2-8 spindle noses for standard ST-40s.
