Here is a topic you can't discuss freely on thyat "other" forum:
Has anyone actually purchased a "new" South Bend lathe?
If so, how is it?
Thanks,

I was in The Grizzly Store in Springfield, Mo.Re:
Considering that a Heavy 10 was going for about $7500 towards the end, I think the new lathes are probably priced pretty fairly. The problem is that, with Chinese lathes going for less, I think the home hobbyist types are more likely to buy a Harbor Freight or Grizzly-branded lathe for less, with the understanding that some modifications will be needed. Just my opinion, of course.
Best,
