new to me 9 Inch Southbend Lathe
« on: December 12, 2013, 12:32:55 AM »
Well for once I was in the right place at the right time. I was able to pick up this great looking 9 Inch Southbend Lathe. I was surprised with the amount of tooling that came with it. It came with a 3 jaw chuck with 2 set of jaws, A small dog/face plate, Steady rest as well as a lever collet closure with a set of 3c collets. When I got it home I spent 4 hours cleaning all the oil and chips off the lathe and accessories. I have been playing with the collet closure trying to get it to work. I think there are parts missing but not sure. This will go along great next to its big brother the 13 Inch Southbend.

Dave,

Because of the bots it is best to send your Email address to other members via a PM.
