mostly is the hardening done by induction hardening machine, I know also manufactures that do this using the flame hardening method.
A lathe that measures 6 inches from the center of the spindle to the closest part of the bed is considered a lathe with a 12 inch swing.
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.
The swing of a lathe can be increased if the gap-bed section is removed, providing the lathe has this option and the workpiece is not longer than the gap when clamped in the chuck.

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.

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.

Made of cast iron lathe bed. Other lathe parts made ​​of steel ST60. Pins and wear them a lot of parts that are made ​​of tool steel.
(mechanical engineering) A small engine or toolroom lathe suitable for attachment to a workbench; bed length usually does not exceed 6 feet (1.8 meters) and workpieces are generally small.Read more: bench-lathe-mechanical-engineering
the size of a lathe can be described by either of the following ways. 1.DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO DEAD CENTERS. 2.SWING RADIUS. IT'S THE DISTANCE MEASURED FROM THE SADDLE/CARRIAGE TO THE AXIS OF THE SPINDLE.
