Hello!
I am planning to buy this South Bend lathe.
The seller says that the back gear is already worn out. Thus, the lathe cannot run at low speeds.
I am just a beginner at machining. I want to learn lathe machining as a hobby.
Is this lathe still a good buy?
Would installing an inverter and a three-phase motor solve the issue of the broken gear?
Thank you.
Cheers!
