Ted, did you ever see one of the 14's built? Steve

The Turn-Nado serial numbers can be misleading sometimes, I haven’t completed my research on them yet. Still collecting data and numbers. the lathe listed in the video by Sterling (great company) is a

Hi John, During and after WWII, the tapers were all revised to .602 except for the 10R which ended in 1951 with .623 taper. The taper diameters were .938 for the 9/10K and 1.6295 for the large lathes.

The first generation 16" was introduced in July of 1912. The spindle was 2-3/8-8, nose length was 2". That spindle ended in June of 1922, they reduced the nose length to 1-3/4. In December of 1924 the

From 12-26-1939 to 9-8-1948 the 14-1/2 spindle was 2-1/4 - 6 Starting 5-26-1946 the 14-1/2 was available in 2-3/8 - 6 Steve Wells

Jim, I’ve added a feature to the SBL Workshop Website: wswells.com For the SBL groups to test. If you are looking for a fast way to determine the date range of a lathe serial number, you can now use t

Thanks Guy, I did enjoy the build of the highly accurate mini mill to engrave them. The 10L and the 9-10k compound dial are the same. I finished the program for the divisions and numbers last night an

I think you are correct, my 21 catalog still shows the Semi quick change gear (2-40 & 4-40) It would be late 21 for the 1922 models. Steve

Glenn, I should have said "early" instead of later...sorry about that. Steve
