Rebuilt my SB10 HEAVY, quite the beast she is, pretty to...

Nice work! I doubt mine will ever look like that. And, I'm okay with that.

:thinking: Question. I've seen the word "heavy" added to lathe models. What does it take to get heavy added? :thinking:

I see it's a chuck key chucker!

Yes, that could be painful!

Regarding terminology, there were three models of 10" SB lathe. The Heavy 10 (Model 10L), the Light 10 (Model 10K) and the 10R. You can read about them here: http://www.lathes.co.uk/southbend/page8.html

This machine is PRETTY. I have to remember that bindo trick with my friend's Myford Lathe tailstock.

Mine was really deeply pitted and looked like like the moon's surface. The pictures don't do it justice, it looks even better in person. I will state that it was incredibly difficult to sand down to level the suface as I could not get in the tight spots very well.

This picture was sent to me by the seller for display purposes. The lathe had no functioning power cables so there was no power capability.
