Lathe

[gailsbells]

i have a South Bend Mfg lathe, Serial # 22278. It was working 3 mos ago. I inherited the lathe so i dont know much. It has tooling and is single phase, not quick change gear.

Can someone offer a ballpark on value of this.

Thank you

Size, model number and a picture will help a lot.

Could be worth $100 to $1000, depending upon condition and tooling it is equipped with. Some pictures would help. Your location would also help.

Based on the number you provided it looks like your lathe dates to about 1920. The value depends strongly upon the condition of the lathe, the accessories that come with it, and your location.

Older, non quick change gearbox lathe, looks like a newer chuck, which is a good thing. Guessing worth somewhere between $500 and $750, at least that's what it would be worth around here. This is of course assuming no heavy wear or problems like broken teeth etc.

That looks very similar to my 1917 South Bend lathe. You can see it here:

I paid $170 for mine, and it came with a LOT of tooling including the change gears, steady rest, three and four jaw chucks, drill chuck and key, face plate and lathe dogs, drill bits, etc. It is built like a tank, and was very well cared for. My guess is you will be able to get about $500 for yours. Due to its size and weight most people who would be interested in buying it will be concerned about moving the lathe. It's actually pretty easy. Take a look at how I did it in the link I provided.

Add another $50 if he throws in the CM block grinder sitting behind it...
