Question on turret lathe

[c2tmfp]

Was looking for a turret lathe that you could use up to 1" 3/16. I can find turret lathe up to 1"1/16th in a reasonable size, but when i look past a 1"1/16th the lath goes up to a 6,000 pound machine. Just need a 1" 3/16 turret lathe to cut nylon or plastic. Seems that any machine above 1" 1/16th stock triples in size. Is there a lathe im missing here, just need to cut 1"3/16 stock plastic and nylon.
