Hello, first post here... I have a 1947 SB "Heavy 10". Whenever I exert a little too much pressure when using a parting tool, I can hear 'banging or clattering' in the headstock. Is this an indication of worn out main bearings? Thanks for any help. Mike

Anybody know about Trav-a-Dial installation?
2
Got a Trav-a-Dial off EBAY and discovered it didn't have the base. Bought one from https://www.buytrakparts.com/measurement-trav-a-dial . Made a mounting bracket and now I'm trying to get it installed. It was missing the Load Cell and Clamp Screw. I tried to fake one from the illustration in the manual, but doesn't seem to want to hold Trav-a-Dial in correct position against the Load Screw tension. Anybody got any input?

Hi eeveryone, A machine engraving company next door is liquidating, but time is short. i just went over to visit and the scrap man is coming this week. It's in Woburn MA. Lots of milling machine vises and other stuff. Inspection tables and tools. A Bridgeport and a Sunmax lathe. Anyone around this part of the country? You can call me at 1-617-797-9930. Just trying to help a nice guy, and save some good iron:) Payson.

9a for Sale in the UK
2
A change of circumstances means I need to sell my 9a lathe, I'm not sure how many folks here are from the UK, but I thought the decent thing to do would be to offer it here first before heading to Ebay. If anyone is interested let me know and I can email pics and info directly. I was never very active on the posting side , but as I fear this will likely be the end of my Southend ownership, this seems like an opportunity to thank all those who have helped me over the years and maintain this group, especially Jim B (thanks for the leadscrew). Regards Adam

Southbend405

Hello all New to this group restoring a nice condition 405-y shipped dec 1934 Can anyone tell me if the 1 1/2 8 spindles from model a b c will fit the 405? Is there a felt replacement kit available specific to the 405 or will any of the a b c kits work? I have replaced all of the cross/compound feed nuts added the needle bearing fix for axial play an re machined the original 1 3/8 10 back plate to fit a nice bison chuck and added an aloris axa tool post. Im seeking any information on parts compatibility between the 405 "grandfather" and the model a b c Thank you

Has anyone eliminated the undercarriage step pulleys on a heavy 10L by using a VFD and motor to drive one of the spindle pulleys directly?

SB 9A Cutting a thread using the method of engaging the lead screw, running forward, stop, running in reverse without disengaging, repeat. Running forward goes smoothly. Running in reverse flips the belt from the pulley. The spindle turns freely cw and ccw. The lead screw grabs when I turn it in reverse by hand. I removed the gear box from the lathe and all looks clean. Any thoughts on what causes the problem in reverse? How does the bearing surface on the left end of the lead screw get its lubrication? Thanks.

Apron refurb measurements
5
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. Thanks, George H. Meinschein, P.E.

Lowered price... now $90. A lathe chuck was included with my recent lathe purchase that doesn't actually fit my (1968) 10L. 5", 3 jaw with a 1-7/8 x 8tpi. From my limited research, it appears that this is an uncommon size used on early SB 10L and 13" lathes. The chuck is made by DE Whiton, and doesn't have a chuck key. The chuck key is a square socket (see picture). It needs a good cleaning, but nothing appears broken. The price includes flat rate priority shipping to the lower 48. Message me for higher resolution pictures. If my price seems out of range, feel free to email offers. - Stan (ps: the 4 jaw chuck from my previous email is sold)
