I picked this up last Saturday from a high school,they were going to throw it out!
It's a Southbend 9"x4' toolroom lathe. The parts guys at Southbend Lathe say it was shipped on January 29th 1964 and most all parts are still available.

Parts can still be had, but you will probably have to hunt them down. Those old lathes are built top last forever. Throwing that out would be equal to throwing a treasure chest out. Nice score. Make sure there is no rust issues, and if there is, take care of it. Make sure the headstock is oiled and clean, sometimes tools used in highschools are not treated well. Looks like yours is in good shape.

Good lathe! Sad that it is likely an indication of the end of a shop program at another school. That happened years ago around here. Too bad so many high schools have given up on teaching valuable trade skills.

Mike, I'll keep you in mind when I get the gear box apart. It has a three phase motor so I need to change that out,and the head stock bearings are shot plus the leather flat belt is missing so I have some work to do before she runs.................can't lose sight of the 914 project too! SteveSr |
