13" South Bend lathe value

in good condition with a three and four jaw chuck? 13" south bend metal lathe works great comes with some extras. Has been converted to 110 volt single phase power. -- Steve |

Does he have any idea of what he wants for it? The South Bend lathe is a
good lathe and if it's something like $600 or so, I'd get it even with flat belts. The only requirement is that it be able to turn threads. A flat belt lathe will probably have babbit or sintered bronze bearings in the headstock and that needs to be checked to make sure that they are in good condition otherwise you will be looking at a repair in that area. -- Why do penguins walk so far to get to their nesting grounds? |

FYI, all Southbend use flat belts. The salient question is whether it uses a
motor cabinet or an overhead drive belt. No Southbends use babbit or sintered bronze. If the lathe is in good shape it may very well be worth $1200. Tony "Bob May" wrote in message ...

Many South Bend lathes use flat belt not all. I have sold a few 9" with
V-belt. I own a 14" that is V-belt "Tony" wrote in message ... FYI, all Southbend use flat belts. The salient question is whether it uses a motor cabinet or an overhead drive belt.

With good ball/roller bearings, I'd probably offer $900 for a start and see
what happens. $1200 woould not be a bad price if you can start making chips right away. -- Why do penguins walk so far to get to their nesting grounds? |

Nope, bought a Logan 200 10x24 with loose change gears for $300 last
year from an estate after looking for several years. Add another several hundred for new 3 jaw, boring bars, drill chuck, new headstock bearing, rewiring, etc. I consider this to be a decent deal, perhaps worth a bit more than I have in it.

Keep me in mind if you find another good deal like that.

Do notice Roy's comment "after looking for several years". If you want
an amazing deal (like $600 for a nice lathe), you have to wait for one that is priced under market and get there first. This can easily take several years. If you want a lathe and are willing to look for 3-6 months, you will likely pay market price. It also depends (*a lot*) on where you are. I sold my pretty well tooled, excellent ways, no wear, could have used paint, Logan 10x24 for $1500. This was about 8 years ago in Colorado. I got a good price for it, but there is no way shape or form that $600 is market price in Colorado. I'd guess average condition with some tooling would be $1000 (a good deal) and up, and that estimate is 8 years out of date.

If you own a 14" with all V-belt drive that must of been some shop
conversion, not factory supplied. I would imagine its difficult to change spindle speeds with a v-belt drive. And when u say 14" are you referring to a 14.5" or pre-1930 14" model.?? In perusing the Southbend catalogs up until 1948 I don't see any listings for V-belt driven 9" lathes. I would suspect any such machine one might come across is some garage conversion to V-belts as opposed to factory supplied, usually done by someone who either doesn't understand flat belt drives or doesn't have access to a replacement belt. The origianl poster was referring to the spindle drive so don't get cute interject the V-belt on the countershaft. Tony Southbend may have supplied some workshops 9's with v-belt "Waynemak" wrote in message ... Many South Bend lathes use flat belt not all. I have sold a few 9" with V-belt.
