Just joined Hobby Machinst,I have a South Bend heavy 10 that I just bought a 5c handwheel collet closer and 14 collets for.Look forward to spending time on this South bend lathe forum.
Welcome.Here is my heavy 10 SB.
It came with a cushman 7 1/2 inch 3 jaw chuck and an 8 inch Union 4 jaw chuck.
Both chucks are a bit large for my use so I bought a 6 inch Cushman 3 jaw and the collet closer set up.
Welcome. Looks like your off to a good start.Just joined Hobby Machinst,I have a South Bend heavy 10 that I just bought a 5c handwheel collet closer and 14 collets for.Look forward to spending time on this South bend lathe forum.
I have a 12x12 inch piece of 1/8 steel plate I can bore holes into and make a collet holder.I was thinking of a wood box to store the collet draw bar.Steady rest and follow rest are future items I hope to get or make.Quick change tool post would be nice.Nice looking heavy 10.
Welcome to the rim of the rabbit hole.
You will find yourself coveting:
collet storage stand. includes ring to hold collet drawbar.
steady rest
follow rest
Quick change toolpost.
