Comments:

I bought this machine shortly after buying a Clausing Mini Mill from a museum, that same museum just so happened to have a South Bend 10k for sale that was donated to them, they were not using the machine and had it for sale. The machine came with a 3 and 4 jaw chuck and a Palmgren Milking attachment. It did not come with any sort of tool post and the cross slide bushing was damaged to I had to pull some parts from my South Bend 9A that’s not in service due to space limitations and needing a ton of work. Overall the machine was on okay shape but it was likely a school machine based on all the crash marks on the compound.
