Hello,
My name is Mickey Mullins,and I have recently acquired a 1980-90's South Bend 10x30" Lathe, it seems to be a great machine so far.I have done a lot of searching and have found out there were 2 seperate time periods Hercus of Australia suppled this model to South Bend. The first supply was in 1989-1993,it had gold colored plates on the headstock. The second supply was 2007-2008.The later model has chrome plates on the headstock and a blue cabinet seems to otherwise be the same machine.Both machines are white.
It has a D1-4 camlock spindle,with 1 3/8"through hole,and an MT5 taper
(Included was a reducing sleeve to MT2).It has live centers,dead centers,pipe center,and female center,and a half center.2 Jacobs Tailstock Chucks(one is a 1/4"capacity,other is a 1/2"capacity)
It has safety interlocks on the gear covers,and the carriage travel.
6"Buck 3 jaw,and 6"Buck 4 jaw,10"Faceplate,has a milling attachment also.
I got the Steady Rest and Follow rest from AMW(Hercus)
Came with a bunch of tooling HSS and carbide,boring bars,(I mean alot).
Phase II AXA QCTP with holders,10 and 1 block,plus the lantern post and holder set,just a lot of tooling,very happy.If you have any information or sales brochures i would be interested in seeing .
