I have a 4" Craftsman Lathe and a Southbend 9" lathe. I've had the Craftsman since around 1982. I bought the SB in 2008. I recently came across a mill/drill Harbor Freight machine for about $500. The seller does not seem to be in a hurry and I could sell the Craftsman along with some other things to get the money to buy the mill/drill machine.
Would the Craftsman lathe be useful for small work (compared to using the SB)? Is it better to keep it and wait to buy a mill/drill machine later?
