## Questions & Answers

**Q: how or where do you get the extension bed up to 42"?**
A: Item TCLC10XB is the extension bed for both lathes KWL-1018 and KWL-1018VS.  Item TCLC12XB2 is the extension bed for lathe KWL-1218VS.

**Q: Where can i purchase  a belt?**
A: Penn State Industries

**Q: I have an older version w/out variable speed can I retro fit one for better control?**
A: Yes, I believe so... Penn State Industries sells a Variable Speed Midi Lathe Conversion Kit. I would check with them to verify it works with your lathe. From their description it looks like it will fit or mount on varicose lathes.

**Q: Under product description it says measurement system is metric?  What is metric on this?**
A: Nothing is measured in the metric system.  That listing detail is incorrect.
