1. Minimum swing over Table..... 24” (610 mm).==> Does this refer to the diameter or the radius?

2. Minimum weight between centers without steadies...... 10,000 lbs. (9071 kg)==> The conversion seems incorrect, which one prevails? 10,000 lbs would be roughly 4,536 kg, while 9,071 kg would convert to 20,000lbs. Should we be quoting a machine with 10,000lbs capacity between centers or 20,000?

3. Minimum weight between headstock and steady… 30.000lbs 13607kg.==> Considering that we will need to machine the areas where the steady holds the parts, should we quote a machine with 30,000lbs capacity between centers?

1. Diameter

2. 10,000 lbs. 4,536 kg.

3. (This machine needs to hold 30K LBS with steady rest) it's totally up to you what you quote
