Note: Bars longer than the support can be loaded while the lid is open. Once manually loaded through the lathe spindle the bar length must be within the length of the Top Load Sport in order for the lid to close. If the bar is still extending out and the lid will not close, then the interlock to the lathe will disable the running of the bar.
