Group,

Before I head down maybe not too deep of a rabbit hole, has anyone seen detailed dimensions for the location of the hole for the handwheel shaft in the various South Bend aprons? ?I’ve got wobbly handwheel shafts on my 10k and 14.5”. ?I’ve measured the gears in the 10k and have a center-to-center distance calculated for one pair, but I need the vertical distance down from the rack or bed. ?That distance will be dependent on how much wear there is on the saddle and ways on any given lathe, but I should be able to nail down the numbers by getting bed and rack measurements in headstock or tailstock areas where there’s no wear.

Seems like many of the online accounts of those that have bored and bushed the shaft holes have been off just enough to have the gears bind up a bit when everything is reassembled. ?I also plan to nail down the vertical dimension for the lead screw axis as long as I’m in measurement mode! ?Please point me in the right direction if you know where to find this out from someone’s previous travel down this path.?
