Hi.? I have a couple of Logan lathes, and it looks like am going to be the next owner of a South Bend.
A year ago I was visiting my uncle and took a quick video of a South Bend lathe that he had in his basement.? He died a week ago and I have been offered this lathe.? I am attaching some snapshots from the video.? The label is blurry, but it looks like it says the swing is 8.? I looked at the video several times and am pretty sure that I see and "8", not a "9".? Since "4 foot" might be the whole bed, what would this lathe be called? ? Can someone educate me on what this is?
Also, there will be a day soon when this thing needs to be moved out of the basement.? What is the expected weight once the motor and countershaft assembly (correct name?) are removed, along with the chuck and tailstock?? Do you know if the chuck is threaded onto the spindle?
