aametalmaster Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 That is nice and pretty. Too bad they don't stay that way. You can add your SB lathe serial number to a growing list of lathe owners if you want to email Steve Wells at his SB site. [email protected] ...Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tiptop Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 keithh999, I will have to admit free is a good price. I think I would have been inclined to paint it the original black though. What is refurbish? The tailstock does not look original to this machine. Did you set it up? Does refurbish include bed scraping or is it sanding and painting only? Good looking lathe. Reminds me of my little one, a 27' SB. Jay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
