I have a old South bend too. Got it from my Dad. It's older than me. The old lathes are just as good as the new ones, just a lot heavier.Doug79,
Don't you have to wonder how people manage to live without the basic necessities of life like a drill press, hydraulic press and a lathe?
My lathe is for sure an antique as it is a South Bend that is driven by a flat leather belt but for most of what I need it works as good as I can run a lathe.
Yeah an ancient SB 9" inherited fro my dad. The ways are worn near the headstock, "good enough" for most work.I have a old South bend too. Got it from my Dad. It's older than me. The old lathes are just as good as the new ones, just a lot heavier.
