The unique thing about a lathe is it's the only tool that can reproduce itself. An amazing fact, even if only partially true. Most of the time I am using my South Bend 9" is to make tools to work on the Car. Bushing drivers, a contraption held in a vise to mount a wheel and indicate run out, The Barrett tool for centering brake shoes, tool for fuel level, tools for using an I beam when measuring and straightening frames, and toe gauge. Having more fun on the lathe than working on the car.
