Hi guys, Greetings from New Zealand.
I have just registered so hello to everyone on here - beers are on me!
I purchased a one owner 9"x 48" SB a few months ago from a deceased estate and a very good buy it has proven to be. In US$ it cost about $575 at the time of purchase so well happy. I've been into 3D printing as well for the last 3 or 4 years but the lathe has really completed my wish list. The machine came minus a thread dial so I was quickly into designing a TDI for it using 3D printed ABS components plus a steel shaft and ballraces for the drive from the LS. It's a model B so happy days swapping gears.
Cheers for now,
