I had a South Bend 11" for many years and it was a great machine. 
This one was made in the 30's and basically was like a big 9", with 
a backgeared head, quick change gear box, clutched power feed in 
both directions. I needed a larger lathe and sold the 11 and the 
buyer is very happy with it. If it looks like it has any life left 
in it at all, save it, its a great machine.

Hi

I have a full set of 6k collets  (actually lacking 2 of the 1/32 sizes) and working to 1/16 is no problem. It is the very small stuff that gives me fits.

Hi Frank,
   Have ever thought about getting a collet closer and a set of collets? I have a SBL with 16 inches of swing and still manage to work as small as 1/16 of an inch in diameter thanks to my collets. Although it would be a great excuse to buy another lathe, I think you would be much better off with a closer.
           How does the rest of the group feel about this?

I agree with Phillip.
I have a 9" SBL.
I have turned .062 often and on
occasion less and have ground .015.
I see no problem with a 10".

HI TOM
I would be inclined to take a very light "dusting cut" or two on face
plate to just clean it up.As to the mounting plate for the chuck, same
would apply to corresponding surface for max results.As to the four
radial screws, no real need to monkey here,as this is why they are
there.As to procedure, chuck up a large dowel pin or othe ground piece
and keep squeaking adjustments until your dial indicator shows you
have arrived at your desired concentricity.Also would leave a very
slight drag on lock screws to help hold things until ready to 
'LOCK HER UP".ENJOY IT. !                        LEE E RUSS

JJ, That grease comes in a plastic squeeze tube, like toothpaste, and
has a plastic nozzle built into it. Cut off the end and stick it into
the hole and squeeze the tube. I noticed you mention 20W, I hope you
don't mean motor oil. All motor oils have additives that hold
particles in suspension and that is NOT good on an old lathe. Best to
use machine oil, way oil and spindle oil.

  Picked this up at a L. A. School district auction for eight 
hundred. Came complete with 3 and 4 jaw cushman chucks, left, right 
and straight tool holders (most still in their original boxes), 
cutoff and knurling tools, boring bar, threading tool and index, 
parts list and 1960 catalog which shows the price without electrical 
goods at 931 dollars. Based on that I'd say I saved a couple of 
dollars. Of course, having saved all that money I went out and bought 
the entire Lindsay library and a new single phase motor.

 Ways are nice and show the original scrape marks evenly. The major 
problems are oil wells with busted hinges, a chip on the motor 
pulley, and a overall state of mild grunge. I talked to the LeBlonde 
people and decided not to support their drug habit(s). They are into 
some seriously expensive drugs judging by what they want for a 
pulley. I'm just going to say "no". I hope they manage to kick the 
habit soon.

 Anyways, I'm a woodworker and need this to keep my old (made in the 
USA) tools running. The first big job once I get the hang of it is to 
turn down the cutterhead shaft on my big jointer so I can pour new 
babbit.

Frank, the UB103 is probably the Unit Code for the bed.  Our bed Unit 
Code is DDB104HG (stamped on the back ways at the tailstock end). The 
QGC101 might be the gearbox Unit Code.  Ours is DTG104H (stamped on 
the tumbler guide bar).

David,

I have an old 11" South Bend lathe. It is #846 and was made sometime in the early teens of 1900. They stopped making the 11" and if you look throught the member info you might be able to find out when.

Subject: [southbendlathe] south bend 11 inch?

Hello to all. I am the new owner of a somewhat older south bend 9 inch model A. I am a hobby machinist -- my only experience was a one semester metal shop class in high school back in the 70's. I also am learning about running an asian mini mill. I was at a local scrap yard buying some one inch aluminum plate upon which to mount my mini mill, and found an old south bend lathe that had just arrived. It is not in good shape and cannot be run under power as there is no motor. From reading the plate on the gear cover, it is a south bend 11 inch lathe. I did not record any numbers from the bed. I have looked around and I have not found any mention of this size south bend lathe. I am curious about his size lathe. Any information or a gentle nudge in the direction of information would be appreciated. Another observation is: What has happened to the price of scrap metal?????. Wow!. My aluminum plate cost a buck a pound. Doesn't sound bad until I weighed my 30 inch square base plate (cut out of a very large piece with a sawzall--not receomended) which came out to 91 pounds. Ouch! Thanks in advance for any help or advice. David

Re: Serial numbers

frankkerfoot

Tom

The serial number you quoted (178095) says your lathe was made in about Sept. 1946, but not much else about it. The letters LQR are likely the initials of the person who scraped the bed, based on the answer to others who have asked the same question. I don't know the meaning of the UB103 on the back V-way. The QCG101 on the gearbox sounds like a casting number.

I expect you contacted Leblond, who has the original build cards which list the part numbers of each of the major subassemblies like the head, carriage, tailstock, etc, and that some one of those didn't match between what is actually on your lathe and what the build card said. Can you tell us more about what part you tried to order? Is there a model number stamped on the QC gearbox, like CL187, CL8187, CL199 or CL8199? If your lathe is a 10" built ~1946 I would expect one of those.
