Re: Is 1/2 HP really enough?
I'll second that...my late-80's 10K I got so sick of the original Texalon belt jumping off the pulley step, I replaced it with a new real leather belt...no improvement...I decided to buy a v-belt

Re: 9" 1925 South Bend Lathe
Hi Joe, Ok, maybe I misunderstood a bit. I thought you were proposing to move from a vee belt arrangement to a flat belt for some reason. Although it would seem natural that you would run a flat belt

Re: 9" 1925 South Bend Lathe
James, the machine came with flat belts, I will say again that the large drive wheel that is on the counter shaft that lines up or goes on the Motor side pulley is a flat belt, it would stand to

Re: 9" 1925 South Bend Lathe
ok, wrong place, yes my large pulley on the counter shaft that goes down to the motor is a single pulley, would have to use back gear if I want to thread slow, thanks, Joe

Re: 9" 1925 South Bend Lathe
Thanks John, that looks very similar to mine, I have the change model and all the gears, yes at that date (1925) it probably was a line shaft machine, I have a Sidney that was just changed over it was

Re: 9" 1925 South Bend Lathe
That's the first one I've seen with a flatbelt from motor to counter shaft . Looks like the countershaft is out on alignment in that second pic . Is that a 9B or one of I think a " O " model ? That

Re: 9" 1925 South Bend Lathe
All the lathes I've seen go from V-belt pulley on motor to Non V as the Driven pulley on the countershaft .

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. If you look on eg this page, you can see an example

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
Joe, that wasn't a reply to you. It was a response to Animal, the post I quoted. He said he never uses the slow speed pulley. I use that every time I thread. That said, the 2 step flat pulley on my

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
