South Bend 9A Resto

[tpierce]

I finally finished my lathe after 2 months of disassembly, cleaning painting re-wicking, building new bench for it, etc. Now to start making swarf!

Awesome. I'd love to do the same thing but I can't seem to find a good one to start with that someone doesn't want an arm and a leg for. Nice work.

Looks good! A WPD machine to boot!

I like the lathe bench as well, very clean looking.

Beautiful job on the restoration. That's a very nice lathe

WOW that is stunning. I would have a hard time using it after doing a resto like that.

Damn she's purdy! Great job!

Thanks everyone. It was actually fun, and I can tell you I know everything about that lathe after the teardown and rebuild. I'm in the process of grinding tools for it now. Should be be using it over the weekend.

Yeah.. that's definitely too nice to use now. You're gonna need to go out and find another one to actually make chips on.
