I have a 2.5HP (labeled that way) DC treadmill motor on my 10K model A and it does a fair job. I like that it is varialble speed. I usually don' t take heavy cuts or do tough steel most of the time, s

If there is any space behind the chuck you could just drill a hole thru the chuck backing plate collar and one wall of the spindle, thread it and put in a 1/4 " bolt. Crude but effective. I have a 10K

The one on the left is on it's way out. the one on the right is probably ok if you have the spindle for it. That one should be good to go if you buy the correct oil for it and have the spindle that ca

Glen, Thanks for all the information! I looked closer at the lathe itself. It is a gap bed lathe with more or less flat ways. So it is not a Southbend that I know of. Could be about a 10" size. I will

Looks like Glen Brooks gets the nod on this one as far as the Jeep and location and unit.! Way to go Glen! How did you come across that bit of information? Amazing! Does anyone want to venture a guess

I'm selling off parts to my 9" model 415y change gear lathe and I need a quick list of all the normal gears that belong to that lathe. Somebody wants a price for the whole set and any spares and I don

I am parting out my Southbend 415Y. It was a 9"change gear lathe similar to the later model C's. Had a bad spindle and I already sold the back gear and the bench top motor swing arm. I still have: The

Guys, I was trying to do something simple with the nut especially. I know that I could have made something special, but having the 1/2-13 nut already in my hand it was too tempting not to use it. The

Paulo, Yes, the wet rags or paper towel might help. I use a Mig welder and use a few minutes between spot welds. Since only the tang was hot it didn't seem to be hot enough on the taper to hurt anythi

Just one more way to go. I have a 3JT to 3mt arbor mounted on one of my drill chucks and I realized that I never use it much. I wanted to use the chuck because it is keyless and the old keyed chuck on
