Re: How do I aline the lathe
Paul R. Hvidston
I get a .175 taper cut on the lathe What should I do.BrettIf your saying that when trying to turn a cylinder between centers, you get a taper instead, most likely you need to adjust the tailstock setover. If you are tapered by .175, you should be able to see some alignment difference if you slide the tailstock up to the headstock to touch the centers together. Common things to look out for before playing with anything are (guys, help me out here): 1) Tailstock ram extended too far and bent/worn/loose 2) Tailstock center not pressing enough against workpiece (slop) 3) Tailstock center worn off-center -- regrind 4) Tailstock morse taper dirty/damaged Assuming everything is in good shape: To dial it in, you can adjust the tailstock setover by half the amount of the difference in end diameters (moving in the proper direction) and make another test cut and see where you're at. Use a dial caliper or micrometer to measure the diameters, and the cross-slide micrometer dial to help make the adjustment. If this isn't your problem, maybe the center heights of your headstock and tailstock are different. This is exaggerated by improper tool height setting. I wouldn't think this would be the case, but if so, then you need to (hopefully) shim the headstock up while keeping the spindle axis parallel to the ways. What else is there to watch out for, group?

Help With SB Lubricants
I have noticed a lot of reference to Type A, B and C lubricants.
My lubrication chart does not reference this information. It only shows the following three viscosities. 100 - Spindle Bearing and Apron Reserve 150 - 240 - Gearbox, Counter shaft 240 - 500 - Everything else. I purchased some Turbine Oil Which I do believe falls into the 240-500 viscosity range. Are this viscosity's refer to the A B C? |

Lathe Pics... and tailstock repairs
Wow... nice job! I wish I had a Digital camera. A friend of mine has
a scanner, so if I can find some decent pictures of SB#55680 (1934), I'll see if I can get them posted. She's decked out in Tremclad Grey (which seems to be very close to SB) and Tremclad "Wild Raspberry" (which means deep burgundy). This lathe predates the "Workshop" series and is much heavier. My grandfather (Ray) bought it brand new, factory direct, shipped out of Indiana Nov. 13/ 1934. She look's pretty again, but parts of her are pretty tired too. Anyone have a tailstock? It's "nose down" by about 10-15 thou with the spindle fully retracted, worse when extended, and the spindle rattles in the housing with the spindle lock ON. I'm about ready to make a new, oversized spindle, remove the leveling shims(NOT original... my father put them there before I got it) and rebore the housing from the headstock with a "poor man's boring head". Any suggestions before I pass the point of no return? |

SB lathe lubricants
Tom Miller
OK, Here is what I think works as far as SB oils, per my research
into SUS viscosity and Mobil and Shell products that cross walk to the SB rec SUS viscosity Type A - Use Velocite 10, MSC pp 1916 item no. 60002136, $10.65/gal, MSC Supply, Type B- Turbine Oil part no. 14155K52 SUS 155 @ 100 F, $7.60/gal, Mc Master Carr Type C - Multipurpose Machine Oil, 1024K17, SUS 325 @ 100 F, $8.55/gal, McMaster Carr for way oil use Way Lub 1017K11 SUS 325 @ 100 F, 8.55/gal, McMaster Carr If my 13" burns up in the next several mos I will be sure to post a msg to this effect. but think I am OK |

Grease for back gear shaft and main pulley
Tom Miller
OK here's the trick I used. This grease rec by SB comes in a 3 oz
tube, its called Super Lube, Grease, from Permatex, item no. 82325. This what SB will send you for about 15$, is less than 4$ from Fastenal Co. www.fastenal.com. I purchased a chainsaw grease lub gun, a small plastic hypodermic type injector device readily available at most Home Depot like stores in the chainsaw dept. Its for greasing the rachet at the end of a chainsaw bar. This injector has a small plastic tip that fits nicely into the hole on the backgrear shaft and main pulley shaft. You do have to remove the grease that comes in the injector. Then fill the injector from the 3 oz tube and inject it into the hole. Have to admit I like the grease fitting adaptor device, but you would have to purchase a grease cartrige of the Super lube, this is available from Fastenal also. Or I guess you could get one of those small grease guns. I also now have found type A, B and C lub oils at about $7+/gal vs 7.50/Qt from SB. big tom |

The lube chart says Teflon grease. What brand/type are people using. The reason I ask is that I'm getting another headstock that has the back-gear and I'll need to overhaul it. Paul R. Hvidston Upland, CA ----- Original Message -----

Trick for Greasing Head and Backgear Shafts on 9" SB Lathe
If you have tried to grease the Spindle Pulley shaft and Backgear shaft on
your SB, you will find two 1/4" x 20 plugs which you need to remove to fill with grease. There is no grease nipple to attach your grease so it make it very hard to do. I made a grease fitting adapter by drilling a 1/8" hole through a 1/4" x 20 UNC Hex head bolt and silver soldiering a standard grease nipple to the end. If you do not have torches you can drill and tap the grease fitting into the end of the bolt. To use, just remove the grease plugs and screw in your adapter. Pump full of grease and remove. Works Great. See picture of my adapter. Hope this helps. Jim Visit my Genealogy Home Page. Researching: Bennett,Burry,Taylor,White. Other Names: Gibbons,Gibson,Kelly,Randel,Moore. to name a few. |
