Greatly appreciated

And its specifications too.

A truly horse-shit lathe. One of the few machines that carry the South Bend name that were complete crap.

Rather strong condemnation. Why do you say that? What don't like?

Once bought a bunch of South Bend lathes when outfitting a machine shop for a vocational technical school. Ordered three 13 inch lathes, and one 17 inch Turn-nado lathe. The Turn-nado lathe kept breaking a link in the power feed engagement mechanism, and South Bend did not have a fix for this problem. I later found out that this was not a USA built machine, but some cheap foreign crap that South Bend imported, and put their badge on it.

The 17 inch Turn-nado lathe was made in South Bend, Indiana.
Because you had to have a $20 part replaced once in a while, you condemn the machine :nutter:
