I saw the South Bend lathe on the website of a local business that sells used machine tools. Looks like it’s from the 50s and comes with some tooling. Trying to decide whether to get this or one of the new p.m. 1340 GT lathes that Matt sells

I'd jump on that before someone snatches it up. That's lot of machine and accessories for the price and an asian machine will never match it.

Depends on bed condition/ware
