Although very popular machines, I've read (and I believe it) that SB machines were not the best quality machines available. The popularity was largely based on price. Today I think they enjoy a cult following because of the amount of older units/parts and accessories available to the hobby market.
My question to the older...I mean more experienced machinists is this:
If you could have any manual lathe in you shop. Assume it is fully tooled and getting parts/accessories is not a problem, what would it be and why? Where did SB fall short on quality/functionality?
