Years ago, I started on an old Sebaston in my company's shop.They had South Bend and I bought a big Leblond for them for $12K. We made sabots for tank killer rounds on it. They sold everything when they closed down and I missed a lot including 3 Bridgeport mills with all the tooling that went cheap.I ended up a small Jet, 36" bed 1/1/2" spindle for $300, that has about .002 run out an slop in the cross feed. . It's good enough to fix things here on my small farm an d I have been able to make a few expander plugs for Lees dies for my old 38-40 and 38-55 that shoot over sized cast
