Hello To All

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 lathes and can help those who are new to South Bend Lathes and need some insight. I don't want to come off as a "know it all" but I will help if I can. I believe in an open forum and the friendly and honest exchange of information. I hope to be able to contribute and to learn from those who have more experience than I do. Currently, I am restoring several South Bend Lathes. Most are "Heavy Ten"s but I have one 9" cabinet model that I started rebuilding when I came across the other lathes. Well, I guess that have said enough for now. Good Luck and Happy Machining! - Blue Chips - Webb |

开云体育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 replacing worn parts on
my 9" and hope to get to the point where I can repaint it factory color and make
it look and run just about as good as it did when it was delivered in 1941. I
think its also safe to say that we enjoy interesting personal stories about our
lathes.

I'll ask again if anybody has ever seen a 9" model
A with Timken roller bearings in the headstock and no back-gears? That's what
I've got, but I did pick up another normal headstock with back-gears because
I?wanted a low-speed/high torque range. I'm replacing that, and rebuilding
the QC gearbox. It had a few worn gears, a few repaired gears and a crack welded
in the case (to name a few things). Once I get everything the way I want it,
I'll tear it down and paint it -- someday. I'll probably have some spare parts
available after I'm done. Gears, mostly, so I'll keep the group
posted.
?
Cheers and "blue chips"!

Hi,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 since '34 and has MUCH more experience than I do. Welcome aboard! Dave D'Albertanson |
