Cool

I threaded my first barrel with a "borrowed" 9" SBL with a 3/4" spindle hole the same as what you are looking at so i would say yes to your question. But my job was a stock barrel and a heavy barrel will not fit thru the spindle so then you need to find a bigger lathe. I would look for a SBL heavy 10 on ebay, craigs list somewhere close to you. Also you need to learn how to run your new lathe whatever you buy. A guy living close to teach you threading would be real handy too. Where do you live???...Bob
