that's gotta be the coolest little lathe ever!
:man:
Yeah, no kidding! It looks more like it was meant to be used more with collets instead of a chuck

I just brought my first South Bend home. I hope to get it off the trailer this weekend and start the cleanup process. It came with a lever operated collet attachment and a taper attachment plus some misc tooling. I'll fit either a CXA or a CA Aloris tool post and a VFD drive since the lathe is 3 phase and I don't have 3 phase in my shop. I'm driving my Clausing 8540 mill off a Teco VFD.
It is a considerable step up from my Atlas-Craftsman 07403 12x36.
Is that the machine that was up for auction at the Public Surplus Site in Corpus Christi?
It is a huge step up from an Atlas. The taper attachment is a nice feature.No this one was a private sale from a gentleman in Enid, Oklahoma.
