Definitely not SB. That’s a (mostly) Model 405. The first Workshop. They had 20 pitch gears. I found the 127 on eBay for about $40. I later bought another group of gears that had a 100 in it. I shop

Beautiful gears, Jim! Mine 'came' with a brown patina, and I've left them that way. Glad to see a pic of the 127/100 gear installed. Is that original SB? If not, where did you get it? Dave

M25 x 1.5mm is a metric thread. no tpi there.

His question mentioned tpi. Threads per inch. Did you mean a metric thread pitch? Do you mean a 1.00 iso pitch? Al Knack

I’m sorry I meant M25x1.5 threads

This is a 127/100 gear on a Model C. Your gear should go on the Banjo, more or less in place of, or in addition to, the 80 Tooth Idler. However there should be a spacer, behind the gearbox drive

Howdy, Those gears are an approximation for metric transposing. You can get close to 25 pitch, 25.something, but not exactly. One way, selecting 32 pitch will give 25.1914..., the other, selecting

I'm confused- the 47/37 compound is for approximating metric threads... <drinkr@...> wrote: -- "well, I stand up next to a mountain- and I chop it down with the edge of my hand"

I need to cut some 25 tpi threads on my south bend 9A qc lathe. I purchased a printed 37/47 transposing gear of eBay thinking it might work. I can’t seem to find any information on how and where to

If you are inquiring about a 9” Workshop lathe, Please go to the files section and look at “Tooling Dimensions” SB-7324. Remember there were at least 3 different SB 9” lathes. So you need to

Dear Alan, Could you please help me with the drawings. Best Regards.. Prasanna K

One thing to know with easy off is it will put aluminum if left on it very long. Not such a big deal on your South end but if you use this technique on another project just keep it in mind.

Hi Jim Thanks for posting Dennis Turk's procedure for cleaning. It's full of information. Dora

Great tip, Richard. I will keep Easy Off in mind. I had some pieces where the paint was super stubborn to remove. Thanks, Andrei

I used Easy Off oven cleaner on my old South Bend. Sprayed it on, let it work for 10 minutes or so, then used a wire brush to easily take off the paint, followed by a wipe down with rags. Worked

I have found that a degeaser, such as 'Jizer' or its equivalent, which is washed off with water can be very effective, once you have removed the heavier greasy deposits. It is marketed in the UK and

try soaking a part in the degreaser from Dollar Tree , it has worked great for me for years . ya may have to let it soak for some time on stubborn parts . it's safe stuff to use too

I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to strip the paint off a ~1940s south end with citristrip, and it does not appear to work well on lead-based paint. Quinn (blondihacks) has a video that supports

If you were in the UK I would not hestitate to recomend the miracle juice known as "Elbow Grease". (Yes, honest. If you don't believe me, Google it and you will find it even has a Safety Data
