Re: [gingery_machines] Home built lathe on ebay

 

Thank you, Ron.

If you hadn't said it I would have. Why would you guys think a craftsman
could not build a working miniature copy of the original? It is done all
the time.

In the description the seller states that the lathe is a copy of a South
Bend. It looks a lot like the 9" Workshop series:

Does it make more sense that a man with time but little money would copy
that lathe once, or a company would tool up to build smaller copies of
another company's product?
