Heads up for the Kelowna area guys that might be after a lathe.

There's a 9" South Bend on Kijiji Kelowna, that seems a bit pricey, until you look at all the gear with it, includes a taper attachment, milling slide, tool post grinder, and a bunch'a other stuff.

Not the be-all to end all, but lots of them were the only lathes owned by a lot of guys that made a living as gunsmiths.

9" is on the small side for gunsmithing .
I have a SB 10K & find it also on the small side for some gun work .
They are nice lathes though

Like I said, not the be-all to end all, as far as a lathe goes, but between that the base lathe will cover a lot of needs, and the goodies with, it seems a pretty good deal from this perspective.
