There's a machine dealer within 3 miles of my house and they have this 10" SB for $2950. Well thing is, I'm rather new to machining. I'm not looking to butter my bread with any machines, it's just a means to make some things I want to make for myself. I figure a 10 - 12" lathe will suit my needs fine, but I just haven't had the exposure to metalworking machines. Anyway, what's the difference between a 10K and any other 10" SB? (I know the heavy 10 is a different animal) I looked at lathes.co.uk but it didn't explain the differences between A, B, C or K models. So what are the differences?
Oh and here's the lathe I looked at. I would welcome any thoughts on this machine, is it junk or a diamond in the rough?
