Re: Screw and Idle gears
3D-printed gears should work just fine. As long as you don't drop or crash the machine. There is a groups.io group for that purpose (among other) that I happen to own. /g/3D-Printing-for-Metal-Hobbyists/topics From what I've read, ABS or Nylon would be good choices. That's from investigation a couple of years ago, so there may be better choices now. Metal gears from Boston Gear can run upwards of $100 each. Having the gears printed I couldn't tell you what it would cost now, but if you have your own 3D printer and the necessary computer files, you can print them yourself. My printer, with an Atlas TH42 style gear for metric transposition looked to have at least a 24 hour print time for one gear. Looked like it would use about half a roll of ABS filament. At the time, I had about $21-23 in rolls of the ABS filament. I didn't have the files for the South Bend Heavy 10L, though I did have them for my Atlas. You may be able to find them on Thingiverse. I did. If all else fails, you could use 3D printed gears until you can collect the proper steel/iron gears. On the screw, you can get a blank from McMaster-Carr. If your leadscrew needs the keyway the length of the leadscrew, you'll need to find someone to mill it for you. Depends on the size/length you need for your cost. Grainger may have the material, too. I haven't checked on them yet, though I do have one local to me. Seems to me one of the members here can do it, you'd have to talk to him about cost. Guenther Paul is the member I'm talking about, and I know he belongs to several of the other SB lathe groups, just not sure if he's here, too. Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.)

Does anyone know were to get one or will a 3d printed gears work as a replacement.? Also if 3d printed gears will work what printing materials should be made of. Any help here would be very helpful. |

Re: Thanks for allowing me to join
Here's a couple of pics. I'll figure the posting etc out but being a senior it won't be super fast. -----Original Message-----

(Ibelieve) so I'm sure I'll be asking for advice etc. I just got it but will post more as I get this tooling sorted out.

Re: Looking for info on a Carl Hansen clone of a 9" South Bend
I believe it is license by South Bend .
South Bend Lathe license all over world to build the 9 and 10K. The 10K and 9 use most same parts. This helps if need parts Some companies that built the license cope would upgrade the headstock. Dave FYI if you use email for posting just add photos easy? |

Thanks Dave, been busy at her house selling antique tractors, by the time I get home and do grass cutting and garden I am ready for bed, managed to get a few more parts stripped and primed, it going to have an easy life until the next man gets it.

Re: South Bend X - what is it?
My HF 7x10 weighs about 100lbs. It is around 24" long. My Atlas TH42 (10x24) weighs about 267lbs, and is about 42" long.? My SB Heavy 10L (10x30) weighs about 1060 lbs, and is about 54" long. . An 8" SB probably will be somewhere between the latter two. 5-700 lbs would be reasonable, a bit less without the tailstock & chuck. Unless it has a really long bed.? A case of beer and a couple of husky young helpers would be a good idea if you can. I managed both of my larger lathes with a pair of the smaller HF furniture trolleys, and a 1-ton HF engine hoist, by myself. No basement though! A 3/4" plywood ramp up the one step in front of the front door was also helpful. Beer AFTERWARDS, of course! :) Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.)

From what you've said it sounds to be a similar size to my south bend-ish lathe (a Canadian copy). Took two of us to carry it up out of the guy's basement when I bought it. Around 100lbs I'd guess. Tailstock and Chuck removed but headstock and carriage left in place. Try looking on lathes.co.uk you'll probably be able to identify it. Spindle nose is 1 1/8" threaded. |
Bill in OKC too
