Man I'm sorry but these videos are blowing my mind. I've watched like 5 so far an every one of them has multiple tricks I've never seen before. Very useful! Thanks
Excellent job. I love your strategy of taping the paper gage around the lathe chuck. I own a Harbor Freight drill/mill and the dials for the X and Y axis have painted on lines and numbers. Now I need to do like you did and engrave the dials.
Very nicely done. I like that lathe. Two of my South Bend lathes have the large dials and I am glad they do. I watched Mrpete do the dials with the saw blade. I have never come across a blade with 100 teeth. I like the meathod you used more.
I’m glad you love your Southbend Lathe. I am planning on Buying one on Monday. I can’t wait! Right now I’m using a Atlas 6” Lathe, but I’m ready to move up to something better. Great Video. I will try to do the same on my Southbend.
That's precisely the same move I made. My first lathe was an Atlas 6" Mark II and then I stumbled across a Craftsman branded Atlas 12 in. And then I found the Heavy 10 and probably will stop here. The only way I could go any larger is if my workshop itself got substantially larger.
I have the same lathe. Mine has the single tumbler gear box and started out as a 10R. I changed out the spindle from a 13" lathe to enlarge the through hole to make it into a 10L. mine has the cast iron leg at the tailstock and enclosed cast iron motor cabinet under the headstock. Mine was war production and ended up at a tech school for colored people at the end of the war.
Very nice job. Check out Winky's workshop he made a set of large dials for his Logan 820 lathe. He used a 100 tooth circular saw blade and indexed off it to make his graduation lines. Did a real good job also. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks for the compliment. If you haven't seen it, check out this video: th-cam.com/video/SKEuTXCX8JI/w-d-xo.html I went more in-depth in the indexing process, and I addressed the sawtooth method there.
Nice Project! Just a question...when number stamping, does the number "1" or "7" require less weight drop compare to the number "8" or "5" being they have less contact surface area?
Excellent question! I had a similar thought, but I couldn't tell much difference in practice. Part of the reason I created the stamping jig was to be able to be consistent, and that did work. And for the "1" I did drop the weight from.. 1.5" lower? But for all the other numbers, I just went to the full height. And they all seemed to turn out pretty much the same. Thanks for your input!
Ya know South Bend went to a lot of effort designing that nut that holds the handle on so that it wouldn't chew your knuckles up like a lot of lathes do. Looks like that sharp edge on your brass nut could do some damage .
As tough as MY knuckles are, it would have to be razor sharp Solingen steel before I'd feel it.... LOL. Seriously, good observation. But it hasn't bothered me so far.
Nice display of patience by taking your time and making everything just so. A job well done..
Thank you!

Favorite part of this video: creating the process for number stamping the dial.
I have a 1917 SB 15" lathe and the dials are even smaller than those on your Hvy 10. I'm definitely going to use your idea. Thanks for the video!

Some nice ideas. Thanks. Wondering why you didn't make them larger though. My SB13 has a cross-slide dial that is nearly 3".
Nice work, loved the stamping set up :)
Thanks!

clockguy2 how do you move the thing!!😂
Nice project. I think there will be a lot of folks copying this
Nice job, very clever techniques. Nice lathe also.
Thank you Scott!
i know I'm quite off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream new tv shows online ?
@Kaiden Arian I use Flixportal. Just search on google for it =)
@Tristen Magnus Definitely, been using flixportal for since march myself =)
@Tristen Magnus thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it!!

Thank for sharing
Nicely done.
Thanks!
Excellent video, great ideas. When you said Lard, did you mean like Crisco?
Precisely. I didn't dream it up I found it on a forum and it really works great.
