When I can find the time, I use this South Bend 16 to make a few lathe tools. My machinest moved last year and this was the best answer I could come up with.
The good part--- I don't have to wait in line anymore to get my work done.

Gary, I would love to have a 16" South Bend. I have a Heavy Duty 10" but sometimes it isn't large enough to do some of the things I want to do. Your 16" SB is a beauty.
what a find
did south bend make milling machines
Gary, great looking SB16. Do you have all of the taper attachment hardware? (Jealous)
Here's a pic of my Logan 14x40
Yes. I think they still do.Quote:

Good clean looking machine. I had to sell my big tablesaw just to squeeze her into my shop.Quote:

I always use the DC & air filter when woodworking. I don't cover my mill or lathe, they get a little dusty but nothing the air hose can't take care of.
