South Bend 10K
I am thinking of buying a 10K (heavy) South Bend lathe I know that it is out
of production and that SBL is not making any lathes now that I know of. Can I still get new parts for the 10K from SBL? |

Sometimes, but the price is high. There are several after-market sources for accessories, two near me; http://www.plazamachinery.com/ http://www.tools4cheap.net/ You may have to compete with restorers (like me) for original SB parts. One in good condition makes a very nice home shop lathe, but they are somewhat like a classic car that you may fuss over more than drive. jsw |

South Bend 10K
I bought my 10K new in 1981 direct from SBL. I love it. It has limitations,
but it does things my other two lathes does not. Age is an issue. Many are clapped out, buy a good one and you won't regret it. They are far better than any Chinese lathe in the same size and they will retain their value. Steve wrote in message ...
