    What is the best model of OpenBuild CNC wood lathes for carving different sizes and shapes of baseball bats?
    Thank you in advance.

    You would most likely need one with a 1500 mm axis on either X or Y (or both) since a bat can be up to 34 inches. You may be able to squeeze one in on a 1000mm machine, and definitely could if you placed it at an angle on the bed. If you plan to carve with an added rotary axis, then you definitely need 1500mm. So a LEAD 1515 may be the easy answer. Or have custom lengths cut.
