I am late as usual, just found this channel and video. I have a SB 16'' tool room lathe from about '43 according to the sales invoice. It needs a little TLC. Using a phase converter on it, and got a felt kit to replace the old ones so far. Thanks for making these vid's!
I love to see these old machines.. I have a 1966 9A and a 1942 16".. they are great machines! Take your time with it and enjoy it.. great video! Keep them coming..
i would leave that 4 way tool holder, this isnt a carbide level lathe anyway. But it can run fast enough. its designed for HSS, and really they all hold the tool in the same holder. i have a REX 4 way in my 1917 lathe, and i dont see the need for the new holder except for the quick height adjustment. 4 tool holders all shimmed to center can do about anything. if that is an iron chuck your gonna need to keep the rpms below 500 anyway. And that puts you into the HSS cutting tools. And i like vintage tools. Have you measured the ways yet?
I’m honestly most interested in the quick height adjustment aspect. Especially as I’m learning to grind my own HSS tooling. I’m a fan of quick and easy adjustability, whatever can keep me in the work flow. I have not measured the ways. I don’t really plan to regrind them, or scrape them, but I guess it wouldn’t hurt to know how much wear I’m dealing with.
There is quite a bit of erroneous information in this post. The 10l with a 2 step pulley does 1200rpm at the high end, it runs carbide just fine, and that chuck can go as fast as the lathe. QCTP is convenient, def worth checking out if you come across a good deal. This lathe takes a AXA size QCTP, just in case you weren’t sure. I have this same lathe, also have 2 other vintage south bends, a 9a and a 1927 11” O series. They all have quick change tool posts and run carbide btw. But don’t sleep on HSS, sometimes you just can’t beat a hand ground tool.
Thank you. I was thinking BXA, but I think I’ve seen AXA on 10” lathes too. I was also looking at multi fix style. Yeah, I’ll probably be sticking with mostly HSS, but definitely want to try some carbide insert tooling and see what results I can get. First thing though, I need to finish this restoration!
@@spitzy42 Yeah, sorry i mispoke there, don’t know what i was thinking. You DO want an AXA. I have a BXA on my 13” enco. I get them names mixed up. A BXA will “fit” but it’s gonna be bigger than you really want. Any indexable holder over about 5/8” shaft size will sit above center line anyway, so the bigger holders for the BXA are pretty much useless. Get an AXA, and get a couple of the XL holders because 5/8” tools will fit, and they’ll often take insert sizes that are a bit easier to find on eBay, etc. than the smaller ones.

So go for it. Just take your time.

Thank you! The 16” sounds fun! I love doing this stuff, just need to set the camera up again…
Hey Spitzy..you are treating your lathe just like I treat my SB 13"....make it tight, but do not worry about polish...Bravo....Paul in Orlando
Yay! Looks good! Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Thank you! We got good stuff coming, stay tuned!!
I can relate. I have a cabinet style 10l and have no previous knowledge of its dissessmbly/assembly. Make more vids please
Awesome video quality my dude. Looking forward to see more videos 🤙🏻
Thank you! 🙏🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
