A form tool that wide would chatter badly on a hobby sized machine.

In my copy of " A Man and His Lathe " by Sparey, he emphasised that he encountered far less chatter when using form tools in a rear toolpost. He was writing about his experiences with a Myford 3.5" lathe.

Its on the list of things that I want to try one day. Havent done it yet.
