Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and to machining in general. I'm currently looking for a nice lathe that I can start to learn on and grow into, so I've been searching craigslist everywhere within about 6 hours from me.
Anyway, I came across this old South Bend that a person nearby is trying to sell. He's asking for $400 and that includes some extra chucks. It looks pretty complete, just unloved.
So my first question is what is it? It seems very small so my initial guess is an 8 junior, but I've been comparing it to pictures of 9 juniors and all that has done is confuse me. I can't seem to tell the difference without being able to measure it.
Anybody have any ideas?
It seems to small to be a 9 junior, but the half nut lever has the circular ridge on it, while I don't think 8 juniors had that..
