    Default Shun Shin SSB 15BH metal lathe

    Hello everyone,

    Would any one in the forum have any experience with the above lathe. I believe they are made in Taiwan. I know nothing of the quality or any problems they may have. Any information will be most appreciated.

    Thanks Frank

    Hi,
    If this is the one listed on ebay (and has been for some time), without knowing anything about it i would say its FAR to pricey. If its not the one on ebay please ignore this post.

    looks like that type was the norm in the 80's before geared head machines of the same size became more common. there is lots of information available on the net but they are all re-badged machines so the name means bugger all

    search for "Jet lathe" of the same size Ie 12x36"
    happy turning
