Welcome, Larry, We need to see pictures of your SB ;-) That's a Loooong bed you have. Sometimes I wish I had more than 18" between centers, but then I don't have any room in the garage as it is, so

Hi I'm joining the list. I have a 9" Model A South Bend lathe. According to the invoice I have in my hand it was purchased from the Carey Machinery Supply Co. Baltimore, MD on 1/3/47. I purchased it

Mike, Beautiful site, BEAUTIFUL SB! Just like you, I've poured over the frankenlathe site and others gathering as much info on DIY restoration as I could. When I get a chance, I'll be reviewing your

I'm shifting gears from woodworking to metalworking and have documented the restoration of my 1941 SB at http://www.salisbury.net/west/home.htm I hope that that you all will find this site

I have been looking for a Heavy 10 for some time now and thought I had found one but the guy wanted the money upfront to finish rebuilding it. The ways had been scraped and it "looked" to be in good

Hi David, I'm a new member of this group. I've just created a webpage documenting what I did to my '41. See http://www.salisbury.net/west/home.htm Hope this gives you some

Thanks to all who have responded to my post, and I appreciate the encouragement, I thought it would be great for woodturning, although the lower speeds of the metal lathe concerned me. I emailed the

I expect to get to the point pretty soon where I'll want to make my 9" SB a little more presentable, so short of hot-tanking the whole thing (in parts form) all at once, I'd like to do a subsystem at

I heartily second JS. Early's comment. If a hand rest is what you find to be missing for what you want it for now, take the compound rest off and either make or have made a rest to fit in that

Hi to All, Have any of you noticed the unit codes on the sub-assemblies of your lathes? I have been looking at them for a few years and have come to some conclusions. Let's look at the apron on a

several... Hi Webb! I recognize your signature from the Chaski Home Machinists board. I'm sure you will have much of value to add here. I'm one of the rookies. My 9" has been in the family

David The most I can say is that whoever told you that did so out of pure jealousy cause you had a better machine than he did. A metal lathe can be used at the bottom end of its capability as a wood

Mr. Barishman, I think you have one of the best wood lathes money can buy. Also, there will be a day you will need to turn down something metal and it will do a fine job of that as well. I

How much do you want for it? Jay Friedman seems have nice got used rust!!

Hello all, I have acquired a Vintage Model C South Bend 9" Metal Lathe that I was thinking of using for woodturning. I have gotten some feedback for woodturning use on some message boards and it

Welcome Webb, Glad to have you on board. This group has already been a great asset in restoring my 9" SB. We all benefit from sharing our experience and discoveries. I'm still in the process of

Hi, My name is Webb and I love old South Bend Lathes. I have owned several 9" models over the past 18 years and have refurbished several for others. I have been collecting information on these
