WoW ! nice job ... it amazes me to see an abandoned broken looken aged machine comeback to life with some TLC ... clean paint job too can ask what inspired the blue?..
btw . Im a grey man myself .
Now That is a 10' heavy I have a 60's model and for some reason the older ones look so much more beefy guess its the pic no? .. now definitely u can see it in the base and chip pan over the cabinet models. I have a an older south bend at work looks juts like your lathe has the star wheel for feed engagement gota be a 40's model
Since I have you felas attention on Southbend and taper attachments wanted to toss something out if ya don't mind me asking. I have a 1963 SB heavy 10 tool room lathe.It has everything for it less the taper attachment . Now I may have available a taper attach that come off a 13 Southbend and was looking to mybe retrofit for my lathe . I took a look at it and the only downfall is its bigger. Do ya think it will be too big or wont matter ? the way height for clamp are a bit larger but don't se why I cant modiphy to accommodate. Now I know the bolt holes for mounting will be spaced wider but dont see why i cant modipy that either. I can pick it up cheap first do you think I will fit the machine well w/ retrofit or not worth the troubles? Thanks guys ill prob start a thread so I can get some more opinions as well .
