@geerlingguy I think it's rather a matter of cheap options...
485mm = 19" is having enough space [15mm total] to have enough room to make something 500mm wide outside with good tolerances...
It's also the reason why 19"/485mm gets adopted in #metric areas because even #metrified it's loose enough and tight enough for the desired use-case.

Recently, we’ve spent a bit of your contributions, and today we welcomed a brand new lathe! It’s the full package, complete with a DRO on support and a steady rest. And guess what? It’s red! That means it’ll be faster and fiercer! Can’t wait to put it to work on our projects!

Some new aluminium milled parts for the AXIOM Beta Compact enclosure arrived. Another step closer.
They look and feel absolutely gorgeous by the way.
