The Monmouth College Physics machine shop (1XX) has the Grizzly G0768 - 8" x 16" Variable-Speed Lathe.
Specs
The following is an excerpt from the Grizzly webpage:
This 8" x 16" Variable-Speed Lathe is perfect for a sturdy workbench or as a stand-alone unit when mounted on the T26599 Optional Stand [which MC has]. Features variable-speed spindle with high/low speed ranges, convenient quick-lock tailstock, reverse feed for cutting left-hand threads, and a great selection of included standard equipment.
Specifications:
- Swing over: bed 8-1/4", cross slide 4-5/8"
- Distance between centers: 15-3/4"

- Motor: 600W (3/4 HP), 110V, DC, 10A
- Spindle speed ranges: Low 50–1000, High 100–2000 RPM
- Travel: compound rest 2-1/8", cross slide 3"
- Tailstock: quill travel 2", taper MT#2
- Feed speeds: (3) 0.0037"–0.0071"/rev
- Inch threads: (15) 9–44 TPI
- Metric threads: (12) 0.4–3.0mm
- Footprint: 31-1/2" x 10-1/2"
- Overall size: 36" W x 16" D x 14" H
- Approx. shipping weight: 166 lbs.
Standard Equipment:
- 4" 3-Jaw and 4-jaw chucks
- 6-3/4" Faceplate
- Steady rest & follow rest

Simple lathe operations on the 7x10 mini-lathe
- "face-off" using a carbide tipped tool.
- "file" while turning to finishing an edge.
- "center-drilling" with end-mill attachment.
- "center-drilling with a drill chuck" using a stubby drill bit.
- "parting" with a parting tool.
How to Select the Proper Cutting Tool for Lathe Operations - Basic Tutorial
Cutting Speed and RPM on the Lathe and Mill
- Mild Steel-1018 100 SFPM (surface feet per minute)
- Tool Steel-oil harened (harder than mild steel), 70 SFPM
- Cast iron, 60 S
- Stainless steel (304), ? SFPM
- Stainless steel (318), ? SFPM
- Aluminum (soft metal), 250 SFPM
- Brass (soft metal), 300 SFPM
- Take home info
- the harder the metal, the lower the RPMs
- Take home info
- conversion of SFPM to tool RPM --> 4 x cutting speed in SFPS /tool diameter
