Thanks for the help to lend a hand w/ the hilo... but I still may use my rope hoist idea ...lol... I have that all fig out now how im gona support the beams when I lift up the 932 ...
hey I thought you were gona go back to the Logan again... just kidden . Btw I did do a lil of research and it seems they did have somewhat better bearings perhaps ahead of the early model SB's .. Ohh and I did look at that 10" Model # 4900 Clausing alltho the machine is lighter than heavy SB 10 by 300 # perhaps it may be a bit more rigid bc of year and having roller bearings and 12 spindle speeds up to 1700 Rpm too bad the one I found is completely stripped of accessories . Now what im learning that may have been the right choice .. However I still want something that has higher RPM range .
Vinny keep in mind I still want to keep the ole beer fridge. getting a 10" lathe not bigger. If ya have one thing to say as far as getting a 10 incher that will have the best of both worlds ya have any suggestions of what I should look for ?
