I see most South Bend Lathes and several Milling Machines are on sale at Grizzly. A quick look showed some lathes are over $7,000 dollars off! I wonder what that means...

My understanding was that the South Bend line was Taiwanese. Although the ethnicity is Chinese, I can tell you that the standards are not necessarily the same. I worked there years ago and the engineers I worked with appreciated German, American, and Japanese tool quality and at least at that time detested Chinese tools. They should not be lumped into the same characterization.It means Chinese junk is still Chinese junks regardless of the name you slap on it. More than likely they milked the name and it will now be sold.
