I am new to machining and have been slowly building up a garage shop. I have resisted purchasing an Asian import in favor of patiently waiting for some older american heavyweight eqipment. There is a lathe advertized on CL nearby. lathe southbend 9x24 mod c
The add describes the Lathe as follows: lathe southbend 9x24 mod c, complete with tooling underdrive stedyrest 4 4jaw 2 jacobs 110v with change gears.
It doesn't look like any other South Bend I have seen. There seems to be a noticable lack of motor above. Is that what an underdrive is?
The asking price for this Lathe is $800. I have requested the serial number from the seller. What should Iwatch for here? Is this lathe worth $800?
