New Guy Here, This Is My Sb Lathe

[pythonwill]

I just aquired a SB from my dad, it seems to be in pretty good shape (after a ton of cleaning) Ser.# is 48546 NAR10, does anyone know what year it was made?

Nice!

I don't know what year it was made, but I do know that it is a very nice model A.

Thanks guys! i thought it was in pretty good shape for the most part, im thinking about tearing it down and doing a thorough cleaning on it and see if there is anything inside that needs attention
And Thank Bob for the date on it. I thought it was older then that (going by what dad said)

great idea for organising tooling on the peg board too, I'm going to shamelessly copy that

Nice lathe, might want to cover the motor wiring

Yes I agree, when I got it the thing was full of all kinds of metal shavings. I still dont have it wired in yet, I dont have a nice shop, i just have a small shed and dont have 220 wired in yet.
