Found the mate to my South Bend Heavy 10

Chet,

That thing is bad a$$!

The holes-in-the-jaws/dowel pin arrangement is pretty slick.

And I never would have thought a of granite/surface plate bed.

I found the lathe that I want and might even be better than my Heavy 10.;);)

Neat lathe but gross overkill for benchrest gunsmith work. As to his air bearing, impressive to him, but misleading. His description if it never needing lubrication, only if it never has radial load.

There have been lathes made of this complexity but the cost would only affordable by a Boeing or US NASA.

I know the OP's intent was somewhat meant as a joke, funny, but not realistic. Still??
