Need New Lathe(Small)

clintsims · Apr 24, 2015

I am looking for a new small lathe 8" or so, tried to buy a Wabeco from Uk and they cancelled my order, sent me to California where the price was almost triple, am looking at southbend 8k or something of better quality, i don't mind paying for quality, but that is a bit much, any advice would be appreciated.
thanks Clint

Where are you

Taig makes a nice little, but reasonably powerful and very accurate lathe.

Hey Ray
I live in Glen Rose
I pulled the trigger on the little southbend last night, we will see how it goes when it gets here

SouthBend should be a good lathe for you. Keep us posted with what you do with it.
