Re: 9" 1925 South Bend Lathe

Re: 9" 1925 South Bend Lathe
That's normal, a vee belt pulley on the motor and a flat pulley on the countershaft. Both my 1929 drummond and SB clone do that.

Joe
Sorry I wasn’t clear. ?The motor pulley is a 2 step V pulley. ?The driven pulley on the countershaft is a 2 step flat pulley.

Re: 9" 1925 South Bend Lathe
It was very normal to have a vee belt pulley on the motor, driving a vee belt, that then ran on a flat pulley on the countershaft. This was true even on original lathes from the 1920's.
They work much

Re: 9" 1925 South Bend Lathe
There are some pictures of a 1925 SB on vintage machinery. ?It uses a flat belt from the motor. ?It could easily have been driven by a line shaft which might explain the flat

Re: 9" 1925 South Bend Lathe
Hi John,
That picture shows what apparently used to be a line shaft countershaft unit. You can see the brackets for the fast/loose pulley shifter.
