Learned how to run them in the early 70's in metal shop then a year later in Vocational Machine Trades where we had bigger ones. Didn't know at the time they were almost obsolete until i got in a few real shops. So anyway here is my little 7" SBL prob from the early 50's since it isn't the newer oil pump model from the 60's. I paid 300 bucks for it 3 blocks from my house. I looked for years online for one but they were too far away. I made the round corner stand since i wanted the old time look. Enjoy...Bob

Love it I would sure like one, been looking for several years but the only ones I find are on E-bay and go for ridiculous amounts plus 5to 7 hundred shipping. I am going to build onr from Gerard's plans once they are completed. Too bad the Chinese don't make a reasonably priced copy of a 10 to 12 inch model. tom
