swing lathe
What’s “lathe swing” mean?

When trying to order tooling for a lathe, i see the term “lathe swing” a lot. Example: LATHE SWING 17″-48″

What does this mean?
i understood until u said: the head stock usually pivots so that the work will hang off the back of the lathe and not over the bed.
Can u explain to me what that means and what a head stock is?

Lathe swing is the diameter of the wood that can be turned. Ie: a 12″ swing means you can turn a bowl that has a 6″ radius and it will clear the bed of the lathe. When turning bowls or plates that are as large as you indicated, the head stock usually pivots so that the work will hang off the back of the lathe and not over the bed.
