I wonder if that's original flaking . I keep reading more
about somebody saying that " they " re-scraped " the apron or
other parts to bring the machine back into tolerance . From what
reading I have done on scraping it's a real art & you can ruin
a part/machine very quickly . The you see adds with " all original
flaking . That to me falls in the same category as there's more
big block chevelle's on the road today than were actually
manufactured . Has anyone actually done scraping ? I do wish I had that collet set though . animal On 2/2/2023 10:42 AM, Payson wrote:

I have not, but once upon a time, it was the only way to get accurate machine tools. I have bought or downloaded several works on doing scraping, since I have a number of old machines that could use being re-scraped. Going to take a bit of practice on some other stuff before I think I know enough, and have enough practice, to do it. Certain tools are also needed, and I have only a couple of them, and not the most important. Yet. If I live long enough. ;) You can still get classes in learning to scrape ways. Richard King was still running classes last I looked, and several of the guys who have metalworking channels on YouTube have taken his classes. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=scraping+ways If I ever find out that he's going to be in or near OKC, I will try to get into his class, myself. One holdup for learning this stuff for me is that I've not yet been able to source pieces of cast iron to work on and practice. There's a supplier in Tulsa that carries DuraBar, but I wasn't able to get them to call me back. One of these days maybe I can go knock on their door... Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) Aphorisms to live by: Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement. SEMPER GUMBY! Physics doesn't care about your schedule. The only reason I know anything is because I've done it wrong enough times to START to know better

I personally think that is insane money for a SB9A. I bought mine, a 1947, that wears it’s original paint, has the original flaking, came with 3 jaw, 4 jaw, collet closer, collets, taper attachment, steady and follower rests, thread dial, and more for $450 about 7 years ago. Here in the north east, these are just not that hard to find.

Hi There,
What I can see, that lathe doesn't have the correct SBL "flaking" pattern. Most likely, it has been redone. There are people that do really good scraping and there are people that make really pretty flaking (but not scraping to truth). I have done scraping to correct wear and mating of two parts but so far, only small things like compounds and such. The add says "Sold as is" so that may tell you something. Good Luck! -Blue Chips- Webb |

I think that's crazy $$ too. Though my 4' 9A was a bare machine with 1 chuck & a box of tool holders . I think I got a pretty good deal at $ 250.00 up in north east Ca . I was about to hop in my truck & drive 150 miles to grab a Logan for $ 750.00 the day I remember about the guy that had the SB . I knew the history of the SB when I bought it & that is one of the reasons I bought it . animal On 2/2/2023 2:00 PM, Rick wrote:

nice one ... if ways are good and i needed another lathe i would go $2000 for this ... 9 inch is a decent hobby lathe ... and collets are better for little hobby projects anyway ... cute !! ... |

That's kinda the book I was reading on this one . It will probably sell though . It's still nice to see what is out there to get a barometer reading on things . animal On 2/2/2023 3:25 PM, wlw19958 wrote:
