I just drilled out some grade 8 bolts for a friend recently in my lathe. Had fun chatting while drilling /turning them.They asked how much I paid for the lathe. I paid a lot less than most people would think,and add tooling as I find it cheap

I don't think I could breathe or sleep at night if I didn't have a lathe or milling machine close by! I don't know how people live without them. My mill and lathe are both from South Bend. They are much younger than me as they were among the last ones made here, and I'm sure they'll continue to do their jobs long after I'm gone.
