    Look at youtube there are bad reviews on the Vevor lathe, it's not worth your hard earned money...

    South Bend 8K photos

    {It not same lathe as old south bend.} Yes I know, I am pretty sure they were made In Taiwan. I saw one of Grizzlys gun smith lathes, a 14 inch at a trade show, also made in Taiwan it was a very impressive lathe.

    Stuart 10H build

    All are steam lines and return pipes are insulated as are the traps, each device has its own steam trap and return line, This is at a large hotel with large laundry and kitchen, you can imagine how many stream traps and piping we need to service..

    Stuart 10H build

    Boilers..At work the hot water is returned back after the steam traps, to heat the makeup water, witch is pumped back into the boiler, the steam traps are serviced all the time and the return water eats the black pipe after time , it is a maintenance headache.. Ritchard, we are saving as much...

    Select 816 B Lathe Acquired

    As you know the Myford lathe uses oil not grease, when I first got it, every zerk was full of grease, it had the drip feed oilers on it so the last owner knew not to put grease on the bearings...
