12" Craftsman Industrial Lathe-- NOS

[Nogoingback]

Those look like two different lathes.

That's because he's repainted the bed and the rusty cabinet to make it appear more like a "new" lathe. That's OK, but
it sort of undermines his story.

He must have a cousin in my area: guy's trying to sell a repainted 11" Logan for $4700.00, and he doesn't even claim
that it's new.

Here's a South Bend 11 for $7000:

11” Southbend Lathe

This is an 11 inch Southbend lathe. Similar specs as the 10 inch (not the heavy 10”). The lathe has been completely refurbished from the ground up. Sanded everything down to the metal, refinished...

Clean and paint does not constitute being refurbished.

Here what a NOS lathe should look like:

That metallic blue is WAY wrong on a machine tool. Otherwise it is a commendable refurb.
