Hey Guys,

Can someone who has a South Bend mill with a 90 degree milling head (Item A in the attachment) drop me a line.  I have a few questions concerning a collet holder for that unit.  I see it in a catalog, but cannot figure out a few details concerning it.

Thanks,

The quality of that set is so low, it's impossible for me to read.

Does anyone have this at high quality ?

I found a lead screw under my work bench the other day. I can try a comparison to my Model A, but is there a part number (I am suspecting it is Atlas, didn't really look it over. Just let it lie)

Re: Old South Bend lathe - Help with ID?

Steve,
I thought I saw a shifter knob but ruled it out as a reflection or color difference. 


Yeah milli.g that bottom flange..I almost did that once, left it to someone else and sold the lathe. Lol

I have OCD Roger…LOL, it’s a curse most of the time!

I can see the shifter knob peaking out just above the hand wheel.

Also I have a pristine 1935 405 bed that Turk send me a few years ago that I’ve slowly

been converting to a Model A. I’ve had to modify/mill the bed to accept the A-B apron, so

I’m familiar with the lower casting of the newer bed and the older ones. I can’t change the feet

without making an adaptor plate. I’m just going to leave the original feet on it and fill the

old casting hole for the wiring, although I’d really like to have the early 1947 intermediate style bed feet.

This is a Workshop Catalog number 477, 6-speed Model B, made between late 1939 and late 1945.

It has a keyed lead screw with an A-B apron, old style bed feet, bed mount switch with the wiring hole in the

left bed foot. Post the serial number for us for a more accurate ship date.

Need help with ID. I'm thinking early 9", but could it be a "Junior". Sorry for bad pictures, a little crowded in there.

Re: turning hardened steel

Ondrej Krejci
 

Greetings,

The scrap stock would be turned up and left in the lathe.  That way it would be as concentric as possible when clamping the collet holder on it.
Carbide generally performs well at high speeds, but threading is done more slowly, even CNC lathes need lead in and out paths.
As for cutting depths, equal area has worked best for me; i.e. first pass at 0.015" to 0.010", then gradually down to 0.003" or 0.002" leaving 0.001" for finishing with a spring pass or air cut.

Best Wishes,


OK

That was my plan with the scrap stock to get it as concentric as possible. Now the problem is taking light cuts with carbide. Carbide normally from what I've read want's high rpm and large feeds that wont work well in this situation. Will the micro grain carbide with a super sharp edge allow you to take light cuts? I have had very little opportunity to use carbide on the lathe and had mixed results. Putting the collet chuck in the 3 jaw chuck doesn't appear to give any benefit over just using the 3 jaw alone. The possibility of increased run out rather than less seem likely. I want to use the hex collet chuck so I can turn some particular parts and then bring the block to the mill and do some milling without removing the part.  I was hoping to get good repeatability this way. This seems like a simple way to machine my parts but getting there may be the problem.
