Hello all.
I am not only (now) a first time lathe owner, I am also new to this forum. This is in fact my first posting here.
After a late-night adventure on eBay, along with a friend who really is well into hobby machining projects, I acquired the South Bend 9 a bit by accident.
We started messing with it because it seemed ridiculously underpriced. £15 (about $22).
It made it to £99, with my bid hiking it to £101, to find that someone had a high maximum.
It still seemed a bargain, so we bid...
The $147.71 Green South Bend (something)
