开云体育Hi Nick, I have a heavy 10 and when I bought it almost 60 years ago, I bought an Enco square turret for it from the local South Bend dealer.? That seemed to be the only alternative to a lantern post back then.? It was? pretty nice compared to the alternatives back then but I did need to go to a rape counselor for a couple of visits. South Bend dealers were pretty proud of their stuff!? If I remember correctly it even came in a cardboard box with the S-B logo on it.? I still have it in excellent condition with the original glued metal label on it.? It is a model 2 1/2 - S and is 2 1/2 inches per side and obviously made for a South Bend.? The tee nut drops right into the Heavy 10.? So obviously you need to find a 2 1/2 X 2 1/2 Enco turret.? I do not know if Enco made different models for different lathes in that size but I suspect the S in the model no is for South Bend.? I hope that this information helps you out and if you have an interest in mine, I no longer use it.? Feel free to pm me if you like. Thanks, Jack Reynolds On 3/29/2024 6:04 PM, Nick via

As a followup to my previous post, the height from compound to cutter tip on this toolpost is a whopping 1.62" if using 1/2" HSS bits or indexing toolholders (0.560" from compound to underside of turret, 0.560" for lower turret land, and 0.500" for the tool itself). Way too high for my 10R, which according to the documentation is supposed to be 1.03125" from compound to center (and by my measure isn't far off). I thought briefly of modifying it, taking the base down to 0.125" stickout and milling another 0.125" off the tool channels to bring the tool tip down to my height, but I can't in good conscience ruin what could be a perfect toolpost for someone else. |
