Hi All,
I currently have a smart and brown SAB (south bend 9 clone), but have a lead on a cheap heavy 10. My question is - is the upgrade worth the effort? The heavy 10 has a qcgb and a larger bed, but I’m going to ELS my current lathe, so qcgb isn’t really much of a benefit. I get the larger bed is only a benefit based on projects that I do, but this is just a hobby for me, so I’ve no real idea of why I’d need a larger bed, but I guess it’s nice to have. So is the benefit in weigh and ridgidity?
