    Trying to find info on Heavy 10 electric/independent gearbox feed

    What was the proper name of the factory option that allows you to run the gearbox off of an electric motor mounted behind the bed? I've been googling electric gearbox, electric leadscrew, etc without much luck. Just trying to find more info. Any thoughts on the device itself? Worthwhile...

    Many questions about Acu-rite Millpwr 1.3.1 - Boot disk?

    Hi, I saved an Acer Ultima from scrap and it has Millpwr 1.3.1 on it, for a 2-axis control. When it boots up it throws a code that matches nothing I’ve found on Google. (srifstrm.cpp(56)) Similar threads taught me to hit delete on startup so I can successfully enter the BIOS but I cannot figure...

    Is the South Bend Fourteen a good lathe?

    I bought a lathe through an online auction that I know NOTHING about. Can any of you guys tell me about the variable speed fourteen? I don't see much about them. Is this because they suck? Are they about equal with a similar size LeBlond Regal square head as far as rigidity? Better than the...

    Nice 15" for auction in PA

    South Bend Precision Lathe - govdeals.com That's a very nice looking lathe from the pictures. I do have a question if anyone knows the answer. What are the two t-slots on either side of the apron for?

    9a w/taper on Gov Deals in CT

    Thought some of our northeastern members might be interested in this 9a on Gov Deals. 9" Cabinet metal lathe - govdeals.com I've seen some auctions get out of control but as a general rule of thumb these things sell cheap.

    7' Hard bed 13" in NY for parts or restore, public auction

    If I were really into 13's this would make a good project. I'm curious, short of a boating accident, how does a lathe get submerged in salt water? Public Surplus: Auction #2292512

    South Bend 10L hex turret parts diagram?

    Hi, does anyone have a parts diagram for a 10L hex turret? I bought a lathe last night with one and I'm not familiar with them at all. There's a shaft underneath that points away from the spindle. I'm assuming this is to adjust the bed clamp, but when I try to unscrew it the nut comes off but...

    Heavy 10 is cutting a drastic amount of unwanted taper - long post with pics

    Hey, guys. I'm going to walk y'all though what is going on to see if anyone can help with this lathe. Bear with me, it isn't short, but I'm systematically eliminating common things in all the research I've done. Trust me, I've researched, I've tested, I'm stumped. I'm not chasing tenths or...

    Source for 10L spindle test bar?

    Does anyone know a source to purchase a spindle test bar for a 10L? Some research pointed to Miller Machine but their website is turned off with a note they are not taking orders. I see RDG tools in the UK has some but they are standard MT sizes. Isn’t the 10L spindle a proprietary taper? I...

    Half nut repair?- 10L

    Does anyone here repair half nuts? Or know of a shop or person that does? There was a member here who repaired them, and crossfeed screws, but he doesn't do the half nuts anymore. Just the screws. Thanks

    Can anyone identify this item?

    Can anyone identify this item? It came with a Heavy 10 but doesn’t mean that’s what it’s for. There is no part number or any markings at all. The paint matches, so I thought maybe...

    Really nice Heavy 10 - South Dakota auction, act fast

    I stumbled across this. It is set to end tomorrow morning at 9am but may be extended. It's simply too far to drive so I thought I'd pass it along to those who may be interested. I am in no way affiliated with the lathe, or the auction company in any way. Cam lock, two chucks, speed chuck...

    Questions about 47/37 in place of a 127/100 on a heavy 10 for metric

    To explain a bit of what is going on, I have a set of gears that I think may be a partial set of metric gears for my heavy 10. They are 26, 28, 32, 36, 40 (standard gear), 44, and 48. There is no 127/100 gear. They came with my Heavy 10. I'd read about the 47/37 as an alternative in my...

    16"? Monarch lathe near Richmond, VA - $150

    I picked up a LeBlond from this guy yesterday and he has an old Monarch sitting outside for the price of scrap. $150. He has a steady rest inside a building for it. It has a lot of good handles and most (if not all?) of the taper attachment parts. I'm not a Monarch guy so I don't know. It's...

    Does this Heavy 10 banjo look funny?

    I picked up a 10L Tuesday night and last night I was going over it and this banjo looks funny to me. I'm not very familiar with the single tumber models but this doesn't look like photos I see. The end is apparently broken, but even if it wasn't broken it looks odd. Kinda like the curved slot...

    WTB: Heavy 10 plain crossfeed screw assembly

    Wanted to buy! I bought a Heavy 10 this weekend that someone had robbed some parts off of. All I need is a plain (non taper attachment), small dial crossfeed screw assembly to get it running. If you have one for sale please let me know. I see some complete saddles on eBay but I don't need...

    What is the worst case of correctable bed twist you have seen?

    What is the worst case of correctable bed twist you have seen or fixed? I moved a reasonably accurate heavy 10 across my shop by lifting it from under the bed with a forklift and now it is cutting a taper that's close to .002" per inch. :eek: (unsupported 1" diameter aluminum sticking out 3"...

    WTT: 9" telescopic steady and follow for 10" of the same

    I would like to trade these for the same items in a Heavy 10 version. If anyone is interested please shoot me a message. They are in good used condition. I'm not interested in selling them outright, but if anyone has the items I'm looking for I'm interested in purchasing without trading. Thanks!
