I have a South Bend model O 13" with a 5 ' bed for sale in North Jersey. $650
I found an Enco 111-3310 13x40 gap bed for sale that looks to be almost brand new. I didn't really want something made in china, but its the perfect size and is certainly going to be in better shape than any American made lathe I could find.
Has anyone used the Enco before? Are they just chinese junk or are they decent machines?
If the enco doesn't work out,I have a 16x40 south bend going up for sale. New 8"chuck,new 3hp motor, new quick change tool post. also comes with steady rest,live center,and set of tool holders for tool post. also has taper attachment. I did alot of work to this machine myself,and it is turnkey and accurate too. I just bought an american pacemaker and don't have the room for two machines or else i would keep it.
how come you decided to then get a lathe?
Jaguar36,
I have a South Bend Heavy 10, 3 1/2 Ft. bed that I would like to sell if that would interest you. It includes a 6" 4 jaw, hand wheel collet closer and collets (5C), steady and follow rests,taper attachment, dog drive plate, metric transposing gears, threading stop, 4 position cross slide stop, additional chuck mounting plate, live center, spindle sleeve and center and 4 way tool post. I am located in central New Jersey.
I'm still looking for a lathe. Couple other things I'm looking for would be a max RPM range at least 1500, 2000 would be better. I'd also like to look for something less than 3000lbs, above that is getting to be more than I'm comfortable moving. I'd really like it to have metric threading capability, but I realize thats probably unrealistic for most of the older lathes.
