Comments:

Came with a 9" South Bend lathe that had been sitting on a pallet in the parking lot of a local truck repair shop. The owner passed several years ago. Cleaned up nicely. Unlike most turret tailstocks this one rotates manually. Did not come with its own base. Looks like it would work with the South Bend tailstock base that came with the lathe. Made to last.
