Paul, thanks for making this move. So far, Groups.io has been far superior to yahoo groups, on the other forums I belong to. Much more efficient photo handling and search functions for old threads. Re

I’ve had very good success using a five ribbed automotive power transmission flat belt driving my SB 9step pulley arrangement. Sometimes called a V belt I guess, although the ribbed bias runs along th

Any off the shelf 1/2hp or 3/4 hp 120 or 220 v motor would be fine. grizzly tools sells a decent import at a moderate price. Also check your local Craig’s list or electrical dealer for a domestic moto

Oops, forgot to add, be sure to match your existing motor speed- probably 1750 RPM or thereabouts. GPB

Probably the only caveat is that SB 9”lathes made prior to 1934or thereabouts have a different design for the bed, carriage, etc, than the famous SB 9 A,B, and C models. Many/most parts do not interch

Jim, Thanks for posting. The photo capability is a vast improvement over yahoo. Is your red car an MG TD? Very nice! I’ve been looking at several on Craig’s list. How much trouble is it to keep MG eng

Jim, many thanks. The wood frame is a surprise! Were they all wood frames? Glenn

Thanks again Jim. The wood frame cools my ardor a bit. Only because I have about 75 years of metal working restoration projects sitting in my shop, awaiting their turn. Four ancien machine tools, one

I ran into two interesting phenomena when I adjusted and shimmed the headstock on my 1919 7” Dalton Lathe. Same bearing and shim arrangement as the 9” South Bends. When you shim to a .001”, they don’t

Take pictures and list everything on Craigslist. One add, list of everything you want to sell.

John, look at the bottom of the members message. Should be a link that says “Reply To Sender”. If you click'on this, it should open an email page with the members email address at the top. You should

John, I use an iPad so maybe the screen is different in Apple products. Here is another way. Go to groups.io and open the SB Group. Select the message you want to reply to. When this message opens, lo

Couple of years ago I bought a SB Fourteen. It wouldn’t consistently hold the tooling in place while making a cut. Sometimes up to .010” variation in diameter when turning down round stock. Everything

Whoa, long way from England! The picture was taken in Australia sometime in late 1944 or early 1945. Note the white vehicle stencil underneath the lathe, on the Jeep in two locations, palm tree with A

Yep, insignia sure seems to be 4th Armoured. (Plus the haircut on the guy in the photo was a dead giveaway for being Aussie). Now the Jeep bumper markings indicate the vehicle was assigned to the 2/5t

Brian, There are some excellent South Bend Forums on the internet where you will be able to find answers to almost any SB question. The SB forum on groups.io, and the South Bend page on Practical Mach

Oops, obviously I didn’t pay much attention to which forum your question popped up on! At first I though you were in a local metal working list?.. my bad. You’ve already found the SB groups.io forum!

Brian, good plan. You can always drag your thumb nail along the bottom of the tailstock and cross slide and pretty much see how much wear the lathe has. Then put it together and run it. Best way to as
