    With an additional discount it's probably a great buy, looks like a nice piece. I just don't have room. Plus I have a 9" South Bend that covers many of my needs.

    You can still get parts for South Bend new and used for refurbish or rebuild. And it may be a better machine as is than a new import that costs another $1k or more.

    I bought my lathe from a friend who bought it brand new for $3700 and he never even plugged it in so he sold it to me for $1800. It's a 12x36 and I use the heck out of it. I've cut threads with it and made probably hundreds of simple bushings and even made tools. I don't think I'd use a mill nearly as much. That South Bend looks like a great machine and a good price.

    I was hesitant to advertise because I don't want people to cross reference sites and start lowballing me.. but I'll do $1500 for any members.
