Ideally, I'd like to be able to use one tool to take a heavy cut followed by an acceptable finishing cut. Is that possible with carbide on a 9A? You and Ondrej recommend 400-600 sfpm

I'm afraid that you need a much sturdier/more massive lathe than the lighter SB lathes. My experience is with Clausing-Colchester 13 & 15 inch school lathes. The smaller 13" lathe weighs about 2700

Hello, With finishing inserts, usually D or 55 degree tip, and 0.005" to 0.010" tool nose radius, about 600sfm and 0.004" to 0.008" feed/rev. work well on 10 series steels. OK

I am sure this is not the first time for this topic, but I'd like to know what setup, if any, anyone has found that provides a good surface finish using carbide on 1018? I have acquired a lot of

If date correct restoration is not required, remove the babbit and replace with a bronze flange bushing. I believe my 1956 14-1/2 has a flange bushing instead of babbit Sent from my Verizon, Samsung

Hope the old girl is salvageable. I can’t answer your questions but Keith Ruker has several YouTube videos on how to pour babbitt.

Hello I have 1948 South Bend lathe 14-1/2" x 7' that is damaged due to a fire. The lathe was next to a house that burned down. The babbitt has melted and started to run out of the cabinet leg. My

It looks like a professional made holder and it has some wear on it from use. Since it does not appear to be a standard lathe or mill tool holder/collet tool, I suspect it fits some spin indexer or
