Sb 10 X 24 Hd Tool Room Lathe Q's

Look here: http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/1617/3463.pdf

About page 11 of the PDF has instructions for adjusting the clutch lever for the feeds.
I don't know what all you get with the serial card. I'm hoping someone here has done it and can tell us.

Most of the time the screw is worn out as well. Check the backlash at the edges of travel and compare with the middle.

thanks ill check it out afta I get the new nut .... where is good resource to order up brass nut ?
 
Unless you buy the nut and screw as a pair, you have no guarantee that you will get a good, precision fit. I have a 10K not a 10L, so I'm not sure sure who is providing parts or screw rebuilds for your lathe. Ebay or google...

How much backlash is in the crossfeed?

there is noticble back lash only in cross feed .. that's why I am replacing. Kinda don't have to measure .. can feel it dialing back out afta feeding in. I believe A new one will perform juts fine . Worked on many machines that had +.020 +.030 or more back lash and still turned jobs out to +- .0005 ... Now I don't mean to sound like smart a... but JMHO the nut is made to wear that is why you replace the nut and or can adjust them as well . CNC machines use ball screws and still have back lash compensation in the programs as well as tool length/ tool daim compensations for tool wear . I am not an expert by any means however backlash is no different than learning to read and use you measuring instruments . If ya already know and experienced this than you are aware ..if not than perhaps ya may have learned something that comes with working knowledge of the equipment you may work on.
 
Yeah, I know about how to deal with backlash and how SB's crossfeed setup works, but I see I'm wasting my time here. Good luck!

Been busy workin getting shop in order getting my girders back together, seems I have to fix this to fix that modify this to get that going . All WIP . Making ready for the New mill to arrive . Soon ill be at 100% . Gota get the refurnished band saw back together too...lol..
Moved my lathe into position last week still have to drop down the leveling mounts to be official.y in place . However yesterday was “Rock and Roll”

Spend time first time with my new lathe on Sunday. Turned a few things one spacer for girder and had to bore out some hardened washers to fit an arbor . No pics unless I have to post them . Ok I have some great news. Man I am one happy camper with this lathe . In the last few weeks been getting all my tooling together ,now all the maintenance has been done as well. Yesterday before I did my work I decided to redial in the spindle bushings . Took everything apart cleaned and reassembled . Than I proceeded to check for runnout as I started to assemble . Took readings prior and after the adjustments . After reassembly and adjustments she was . “Dead Nuts” , “Spot on” as Sr. used to say “ BULOVA “ and ill say she is “****” No spindle run out . None Nata That puppy is running so smooth the indicator needle is barely vibrating. Than I proceeded to do fulcrum test and got about . 0005 run out . Im ok with that for now. Jmho no reason to make things too tight and create excessive ware.

To date I have never dialed in south bends spindle bearings. Not sure what is proper protocol. Right now I still have one .002 on each mounting bolt . On the procedure for adjusting it say you can remove one shim from one side . But id like to hear from one of you SB owners before going any further .


If anyone knows what proper protocol is please explain in better detail thanks allot
