Sometimes I just can't seem to help myself LOL
Local craigslist. This, I hope, is the "end" of a long sordid story
I HAVE a useable Craftsman/ Atlas 12", but they are a little in the weak dept. I have improved it, found what is known as a "production cross slide" and added a used HF quick change tool holder I bought used. But it's a sellable lathe, and I should come out OK, that is, just trying to get a heavier duty lathe
I found a Logan 200, but it needs work and has a busted gear, and it's an odd model. Don't have much into it
I bought an OLD OLD South bend, and may be able to use some of the parts off it on the one above. It needs work, and again, I don't have much into it
Just recently I bought a little Jet BD-920N, but that thing is pretty light. It's nice for what it is, useful for small work. And its not REALLY a 9", either. If you measure the way SB/ Atlas do, it's more like a 6" LOL. The carriage gets in the way.
If I get the new SB up and happy, I'll probably sell both the Atlas and Jet
