Maybe in a production environment this saved some time, in a home shop situation, people do it purely for the sake of doing it.

Re: Phase 2 Tool Post
Thanks Al, Pretty sure it's M14x1.5. If I have a tap in that size, I'll go with there-drill and re-tap.? If not, I'll mill. Greg

Re: Phase 2 Tool Post
The tee nut is deliberately left large so it can be fitted to your lathe. It is a metric thread on the P-2. I believe it is a M14 but not positive. I can measure mine if you want. It isn¡¯t too hard

Re: Reverse tumbler Mod for a 9A
Yea , thats what it's about . SB must have thought it a worthwhile mod since they used it on the tool room 9" lathes & also had a no wrench tumbler on the 10" lathes . ??? ??? animal

Re: Reverse tumbler Mod for a 9A
I believe this is to convert the fwd/rev lead screw gears, so you do not require a wrench to loosen the locking bolt. ¡°newer¡± SB lathes use a spring plunger like those on the quick-change gear

Re: Reverse tumbler Mod for a 9A
I¡¯m really not sure why people do this modification. I have a SB13 in addition to my SB9A. ?Yes, it takes slightly longer with the wrench than the lever on the 13. Is it a problem? Not really,
