South Bend lathes – news!

News to me:

Shiraz Baliola, the man who owns Grizzly, has taken over the South Bend Lathe company. The plan is to have South Bend Lathes made in Taiwan but using South Bend designs, patterns and high-quality components.

Cool!

    I have difficulty believing that he was born with the name Shiraz Baliola.

    I wonder if they’ll do any updates to the castings – the SB 9″ could use some more mass in the lathe bed in particular..
