Why the bed of the lathe machine is hollow?
The bed ways of a lathe in itself are not hollow, but the area between the ways are. This is primarily to reduce the weight of the machine and also the cost due to much less material used to manufacture it.
How a lathe machine is specified?
A lathe machine is specified by-1.The maximum diameter of the workpiece that can be operated on the machine.2.The distance between the headstock and the tail-stock of the machine.3.The length of bed of the machine.
What is a gap bed lathe?
The bed of a lathe is the central beam that runs down the machine. The head, which holds and turns the workpiece, is fixed at one end, there is a tailstock at the other end which can be adjusted along the bed, and usually a carraige in between, which holds turning tools. The workpiece that can be turned in the lathe is limited to what will fit in the head without hitting the bed. A gap bed lathe has a gap in the bed near the head, so a larger workpiece can be turned.

What is bed length in lathe?
The bed length of a lathe is the total length of the bed way from where it starts to (close to the headstock) to where it ends. When a lathe is advertized for sale it would show for example: 200mm x 1000mm or 8" x 40". The 200mm or 8" describes the "swing" of the machine and the 1000mm or 40" describes the workable distance between the chuck and center. This should not be confused with the bed size of a lathe as the bed houses the tail stock and therefore the distance is shortened.
