Any Australian South Bend Lathe owners on here?
As the title says, are there any Aussie South Bend Lathe owners on here?
Not Hercus but South Bend
I have a nice little South Bend 10k I recently tidied up. I havent restored it yet, I wanted to strip it down, clean it up and see what needs repairing. As it turns out everything works as it should and its tight, Ill eventually replace all the felts and anything else thats a little worn.
It didn't have a motor on it when I got it so I put a 3 ph with a VFD on it, which I will mount under the bench (the vfd) and I am about to make a remote switch panel to operate the lathe. Its beautiful old machine, I love it.
