There are a lot of SB products in the Grizzly catalog, including some which
look a lot like some familiar/common Chinese products, only different.

The price isn't shown for the SB 4x6 bandsaw, noting that it will be
available in March.

Sounds like SB sold their soul to the Chinese devils

Since SB hasn't been anything but a trademark for many years, it's
more probable that the holder decided to cash out to the highest
bidder.

I have been monitoring their web site. They led me to believe that they will
be restarting production in US with a number of new items. However, their
small lathes have been perpetually marked as "coming soon".

Disappointing...

The lathes they were famous for were throwbacks to the 1920's. Mine
would easily adapt to an overhead lineshaft drive.

Oh, I don't hold much with them new-fangled ideas. I was hoping for one with
the yew bow and holding the tool in my toes.
Seriously though, they list some big lathes which I assumed were made by
them in USA. They kept promising a 10"x if I monitored their web site. This
has been going on for a year.

I expect it would be a rebranded import and not a new Heavy 10. They
offered those into at least the 1990's, for $12,000 or about 10X the
value of mine, and the ad admitted that it wasn't much good for
production.
