South Bend dissembly question

[tq60]

South Bend loves those as they are easy.

Simply assemble the parts, drill a hole and insert a pin.

Pay attention and you may see they are not accurate, some at different angles and such odd things.

But it does the intended task with a lot less work than cutting matching keyway

I have it mostly torn down now. Not entirely but enough to clean everything and get some paint on it.
I am missing a part for it tho.
Part # 23.
It looks like a small round/beveled pin that tightens against the the tool head holder.
Is there someone here who could take a photo or 2 of theirs and maybe post some dimensions?
I'm sure I could make one.
Thanks

Hmmm,
2 days and no replys to my query about that part.
I watched Mr Pete on youtube take that part out of the SB7 he featured in his videos.
He just removed the locking bolt and used a magnet on a stick to pull it out.
It looked very easy to do.
I suppose I can figure it out...

I have been working on my little SB 7" off and on for much of the winter and am getting close to making some chips with it.
One thing I have to do yet is make a tool holder for it.
Is there someone here who has a SB or Atlas that could post some photos and dimensions of theirs so I could copy it?

Question on the size lathe. How are you arriving at 7”? South Bend sized them by how large a diameter it could swing. Is your lathe possibly a 9” or 14” if you are measuring from the bed to centerline of spindle. This will make a difference in the size of tool post holder you will want to make.


Cutting oil is my blood.

It's a South Bend 7" shaper, not a lathe.

I feel really stupid. Thanks for the correction. I will see myself out.

No harm no foul.
I do it too.
On the tractor forum a guy asks for help on rear axle seals for an 8N Ford.
I give him advice for a 9N Ford.
Similar tractors but very different type of seals.
Doh!
If someone could lend a hand with this I would be grateful.

I was wondering. Could a lathe lantern tool post work on your shaper? Maybe South Bend used the Lathe ones on the shaper. Or could be interchangeable.

What size is your T-slot on your clapper?

I know this is an old post but I have mine apart today and it is a simple 3/8 dia pin, not sure if its cast iron or steel, one end is cut at am angle with a radius. I have had the shaper for years but not used it much since I got a clausing mill. Now I need to make some internal keyways for a south bend lathe bushing.
