Oh man, my grandpa bought this lathe brand new. My aunt got it when he passed. He milled several things with it, even made a few firearms with it lol. He made his own mini tractors and mowing machines...That man could make anything! He did have a bad temper though lol. I got to witness a chainsaw murder... It wouldn't start after the 6th pull so he threw it down the hillside and put 5 .38 rounds in it 😂
What a great find. I desperately want to get a wood turning lathe but finances are tight so new is out. A few months ago an acquaintance who lives across our little town said he had one he rarely uses, but changed his mind. It wasn't quite as big as I'd like so I didn't pursue it either, but it would have come in handy several times... Also SixtyFiveFord, you have to live near me. I recognized all the roads you showed. I've driven them many times in my 65 years.
I just sold a nearly identical South Bend Lathe a few months back. Mine was from 1930, and was that same color and condition. It had several milk crates full of extra tooling, chucks, collets, and stock. Nice machine, I just didn't need it.
@@sixtyfiveford Yep. I thought I was ready to start tinkering and learning some metal turning, but I have about ten years of work ahead of me before I have that much time to devote to anew hobby. So I sold it to a retired airplane wrench that is setting up a small shop to repair and maintain his equipment, and that of his friends and neighbors. He said I could stop by anytime to visit.
Best way to ruin endmills, putting them all together in a box....I know, I did the same thing...nice lathe....now make some wood blocks with holes bored to store endmills
I was going to post that too. I keep all my mill cutters in the containers they came in. Obviously you can’t do that with these. But it’s really easy to chip a tiny piece off a tooth to make it unusable.
I bought a hd engine hoist from my old landlord. You'd be surprised how much you use it on anything but an engine. Moved an antique 800 lb drill press,lifted a motorcycle into my truck.ect.
today I was looking at craigslist and came across a listing for a south bend lathe for FREE! The posting was 25 minutes old and quickly I messaged the guy. Within 10 minutes he calls me and says to come and pick it up. I went and got the machine, 350 pounds is about right, these things are HEAVY! The one he had was I believe a model A, bed 4ft long and it had the quick change gearbox for the feed. believe it to be from the mid 40s as it had a tag on it that read ' inspection passed, WAR PRODUCTION BOARD' It was a fairly well used machine but in good condition, The gentleman ran the machine before I started dismantling it. I have a 2014 mini cooper S and I loaded it in there, it was hard work and we got it. Funny thing is that the guy had the same breed of dog as your and man the same color, She is 8yrs old and so full of energy, just running around, and wanting patting, caressing every 5 minutes or so. Such a sweet dog. Today was a good day for me. Machine will be cleaned up but the old paint left on, Red. I dont care to make it fully restored, just clean, hand wheels polished and in smooth working order.
I've been looking for a lathe since you got yours years ago. Around here they are rare or $1500+ for a very well used one. I've found a couple in the $1000 range but they were all mammoth beasts and I don't have the room.
Great haul. I have a lathe just like that inherited from my Father. Used it a lot as a teenager (a very long time ago). Haven't used it in years as my chuck is also way out & my 4 jaw is shot. I like your trick for truing it. May try that. Also I put a fractional HP, 3 phase motor & one of those inexpensive phase converters on it to provide easy speed control. Have fun.
Good for you! I know how intelligent/engineering minded you are. I am happy to know you will do all the regular things with those machines that most people do. Plus I think you have a level of creativity that you will surprise us with some of the projects or operations you accomplish using these tools.
Nice old lathe ..The ticking of the flat belts and whine of the gears makes it all the better when using something that old..Check your Spindle bearing run out also ..Be a good time to practice centering a 4-Jaw chuck till you can find a newer or better 3-Jaw ..The mill is a another great machine to have ...Now get busy this Winter making so wild inventions you have been dreaming about LOL
I've got a slightly newer model of that lathe that I've owned for some 35 years. For my light lathe uses, it's a perfect tool for me. I just used it to machine some tooling for a ball joint tool. Nice find!
Thanks for the videos, back in 1994, I bought a 8" South bend Lathe, looks a lot like yours, with similar tooling, 3 jaw/4 jaw, faceplate etc... In 2004, was able to locate a "keeper of records", who was able to tell me that, based on the stamped numbers on the ways by the tailstock, my machine was shipped Dec 26, 1931to the Univ of Utah physics dept, Salt Lake City. It's a Catalog 408YP, 8" swing, 36" bed. I'm in the Houston area.
@@sixtyfiveford apologies, I can send the address of that source, he worked/ works for Leblond lathe. I don't mind sending just didn't want to make a public posting.

It is nice to see that old equipment brought back to life. The learning curve on a lathe is steep. I hope you have many projects to do on it to make it worth the room that it takes up. I'm looking forward to seeing what projects you use it on. 14 hours... I am still trying to fathom that.
How did I NOT See this Video when it came out??? I'm set up pretty much the same with mill, lathe and drill press against the East wall of my shop. Invaluable tools my Friend! Enjoy! Zip~
I'm so used to doing everything without a lathe or mill that I haven't found much use for them yet. I did tinker around and make some brake and clutch master cylinder threaded caps, but that's about it.
@@sixtyfiveford You will only have to use it a couple of times & wonder how you did without it. Plus this will more than likely get you going on new projects. I will be watching for them.👍
Me : “Why does this dude have air suspension on a trailer?” Me a few minutes later : “Why do I NOT have air suspension on MY trailer?” (Edit for missing capitals and punctuation)
@@sixtyfiveford Did you build it yourself? I'd like to see the suspension details. Your mill is pretty much identical to mine. Make sure you keep the bolts that clamp the Head to the column good and tight or you end up milling around in circles - damn round columns.
This is actually the Model 415 . The precursor to the model C . From what I've read these older machines were not possible to convert to a model B ? The spindle oiling was changed from a top filling system to a reservoir/felt wick lubrication from under the spindle .
That is a nice lathe, about the belt, you can get modern polymer belts that you just join and heat treat. They also run silent and smoothly. Just check on line from industrial suppliers.
Wow! Amazing find on that South Bend lathe!! I have some connections to South Bend Lathe Oliver Tractor and Studebaker (all originated in South Bend Indiana) via my father and grandfather. The company South Bend Lathe actually still exists today but is now part of Grizzly, just north of me, in Bellingham, Washington. They still sell high-end USA-made lathes.
I want a mill really bad. In fact if I could do it again I'd get a mill before the lathe. My biggest issue is I have absolutely no room....i also want a horizontal band saw. That's a really nice mill too
I've seen some pretty cool techniques where people are using their lathe as a mill. I really need to buy a dividing / indexing head now so I can get full use of the mill. The amount of money you can spend in this hobby is endless
When I need to move a cherry picker with a heavy load, I always lay some 2x4s or 4x4s across the legs and lower the load enough to keep it from swinging. Something like an 80-gallon compressor can tip the whole thing over if it gets moving . . . ASK ME HOW I KNOW.
@@sixtyfiveford very slowly... It is an 1894 Barnes 4 1/2 Screw Cutting Lathe. I can't do a true restoration because I don't have all the parts and they haven't been made since about 1908... I have a couple videos up on it...
Thats cool! I have one just like it. Same size but a model a. Just got the lathe itself had to find everything else to make it run. Updated the tool holder with a cheap China one thats works good. Bought a bed for it back east had it shipped here to my place. Wired up a drum switch with a good used motor runs well, except the flat pulley on the motor drive assy is out of balance. The old one was cracked but ran good, be careful of ebay items. Would like to put a quick change gear box on it some day. I've also heard of people putting a small motor on the feed shaft with a reostat instead of changing gears. I'm afraid to do that much work to find that it drags down to much when cutting changing thread pitch. Good luck, nice old machines!
Nice so far I could replicate everything you have shown on your videos but now you have a lathe so I can only watch and hope I can one day get a deal or meet some close by with one
I have 6 atlas lathes now I've bought and restored all around 1950-60,, 2- 12x36 and 4 6- 6x18s one that was never used and have pretty much every attachment for them and tons of tooling,, I've seen the prices triple in the past 2 year's I've gotten them and I just bought a Sheldon horizontal mill those you never find and has everything and I'm great working condition,, you will be hard pressed to find a import to match the vintage machines and will pay big bucks for equal ,, atlas was more the hobbyist lathes and most very well taken care of,, hard to find southbend and Logan's that aren't beat to hell most was in factories and schools,, I'll be selling mine collection as with my 9 classic cars I've restored later in life,, saw your ford pickup I just bought a 66 ford pickup with 352 and only 38,000 miles as my winter project just finished a 45 dodge pickup . Enjoy that lathe it will do all you need as a hobbist just a little slower,,l put treadmill motors on mine for speed control works very well expecially for treading and forget the carbide for a 9 inch you will only abuse your older machine trying to get good use of it,, high speed steel will give you much better results with smaller lathes.
My grandpa left me his south bend same as that with full set of gears. Little harder but you’ll get the hang of it. Nice find! Was it always that colour? Mine is grey with black gear cover
Worth the drive to Nevada , I miss alc, I lived in west valley kerns,? I want you to know how much you’re videos mean to me, it’s a lot. Jacksonville Florida is nothing like Utah go figure.
Ha ha i don't think she is intrested in the lathe, unless it was bone shaped :-) Now you have the machines, i can see you bringing them back up to spec and finding so many things you can do easyer than before . If you had a machine shop, we would never see you again lol . Hmm a rework of the mud guards on the traylor, double up on the supports perhaps.
Moe, I alway thought we could be friends, and now that you got those heavy things moved, I know we can! Lol. Glad you had minimal issues on your road trip. I have an old Atlas lathe I inherited from my grandpa that has saved me a few times. You are gonna love your new mill and lathe, congrats!
sixtyfiveford yep. Hear ya. Out east the SB units come up more often. Check out those ER40 collets. They are cheap and will match what you do. I have my dads 10A. Like that mill you got. Good luck with both
some audio/video sync issue at the end there, not a big deal in his video but figured id mention it incase you dont notice and the cause of it ended up ruining a full future video
That way is very worn down. You have to check how straight it is. Many lathes have much more wear nearer the headstock, because most work is short. So if you try to cut a fair length shaft, it won’t cut straight. Be aware of that. It’s hard to tell by just looking at it. 27.5 threads is for pipe. The last thing, which you may not care about, is leveling the bed. If it’s not leveled properly, one end of a part will have a larger dia than the other. But with a worn bed, it’s only good for part of the bed.
It is worn but so is every other used lathe I've seen on the market. I tested it with a precision straight edge and can just slip a .005" feeler gauge at 18" length(all my usable length). I have a machinist mentor that has worked on every worn out piece of junk out there and says you just need to know where the wear is and compensate. At one pro shop he said you used this identical lathe for nearly a year straight making small 22cal gun parts.
sixtyfiveford well, good luck. Just remember that 0.005 is a 200th of an inch, which is a lot. I’ve got an old Southbend 10 heavy, that I bought used, in 1983, in an auction. It was made in September 1953. Pretty worn bed as it will always be in an old lathe without flame hardening. But there’s simply no way you can compensate for a bed that’s worn, because it’s not worn evenly, and your carriage is worn too. If you make short parts, near the headstock, you can get away with it, often. But if you’re trying to turn a longer piece, the carriage will move closer and further away from the work, and there’s nothing you can do about it, no matter what any “guru” says. My main lathe is also a Southbend, a FOURTEEN, which is how they named it, made in 1980, that I bought in 2002, with a flame hardened bed and carriage, and shows no wear to speak of. I can accurately turn a long shaft on that, but not the 10. Just keep it in mind.
One thing newcomer do is chuck up a 3-4" long piece n turn it with just chuck for support. Learn & take time to center drill , then use your live center. If tail stock to close to work , buy or make a extension. Helps on trueness & if have to repeat work one end have a true center. Lots of times I drill with a center drill then turn shaft true area for Chuck ,turn end for end & drill with center drill , set live center. Sounds like monkey work that takes time. Things run truer & when ya want to return a piece , bingo . All set to go. Most guys in a hurry now a days. Those steps save hours of re work. Not sure you know this , when turning & get a shaft over 100° which is very easy. Cool down measurement be smaller, or bigger if boring . There's a formula for that that slipped the old noggin. Seen lot of guys do heavy cuts in a hurry & forget this , then the next day parts are loose & like what the ? I know I turned that to spec & now ...,......, . Have fun , one last hint. Chuck key is in your hand or in storage. Guys get in habit of leave in Chuck . One time forgetting cost money or pain or both. Chuck keys fly n kill, or bend precious things.
Off topic but how are those yellow kiwis. I've wanted to try it but never had......(ok let me keep watching the rest of the video lol)......" squirrel !!!"

I still haven't gotten use to having this in the shop. I'm so trained to not use a lathe I find other ways to do projects.
I wish you had someone I could work by.
I have 6 atlas lathes now I've bought and restored all around 1950-60,, 2- 12x36 and 4 6- 6x18s one that was never used and have pretty much every attachment for them and tons of tooling,, I've seen the prices triple in the past 2 year's I've gotten them and I just bought a Sheldon horizontal mill those you never find and has everything and I'm great working condition,, you will be hard pressed to find a import to match the vintage machines and will pay big bucks for equal ,, atlas was more the hobbyist lathes and most very well taken care of,, hard to find southbend and Logan's that aren't beat to hell most was in factories and schools,, I'll be selling mine collection as with my 9 classic cars I've restored later in life,, saw your ford pickup I just bought a 66 ford pickup with 352 and only 38,000 miles as my winter project just finished a 45 dodge pickup . Enjoy that lathe it will do all you need as a hobbist just a little slower,,l put treadmill motors on mine for speed control works very well expecially for treading and forget the carbide for a 9 inch you will only abuse your older machine trying to get good use of it,, high speed steel will give you much better results with smaller lathes.
That's quite the collection.
Nice score 👍
Thanks man
Nice finds Moe!
Hey Thanks.
My grandpa left me his south bend same as that with full set of gears. Little harder but you’ll get the hang of it. Nice find! Was it always that colour? Mine is grey with black gear cover
That's awesome. I think this was "restored/painted" in the 1970's sometime. I don't think this was an original color.
Nice set up
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Worth the drive to Nevada , I miss alc, I lived in west valley kerns,? I want you to know how much you’re videos mean to me, it’s a lot. Jacksonville Florida is nothing like Utah go figure.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I grew up in West Valley.
Ha ha i don't think she is intrested in the lathe, unless it was bone shaped :-)
Now you have the machines, i can see you bringing them back up to spec and finding so many things you can do easyer than before .
If you had a machine shop, we would never see you again lol .
Hmm a rework of the mud guards on the traylor, double up on the supports perhaps.
I reworked one side a few weeks back and thought the other side might give me issue. I fixed the failed side the day after I got home.
That cat tin was awesome.
I know. It's what I found a bunch of the end mills in originally, so I kept it.
Moe, I alway thought we could be friends, and now that you got those heavy things moved, I know we can! Lol. Glad you had minimal issues on your road trip. I have an old Atlas lathe I inherited from my grandpa that has saved me a few times. You are gonna love your new mill and lathe, congrats!
Thanks Man! It's hard to find people with like interests in life, but RUclips has been great for that.
How people can live in a place w/o trees is beyond me.
I agree. Vegas is so hot in the summer and most people have gravel landscaping (no grass). It was the coolest part of the day at 6:00am ; 90F.
Would love to see your chip control solution for the mill. I use an old shower curtain, but seems bent platic pieces might serve better
Shower curtain sounds like a good idea. Haven't played around with it enough to experience the chip shower.

You can get heaver vinyl in a fabric store or Walmart .
Called table cloth covers . Clear , quite thick , & flexible . About 1/32 thick
Nice snag Moe, you could make some pretty cool videos with those new toys ! you really need to check out Keith Fenner, amazing machinist.
I've watched a few of his videos.
she jumped right on up there!
She caught me off guard.
Hitting traffic cones is extra points, right?
Heck Yeah, but not as many points as pedestrians.
Funny shirt thanks for the vid
I didn't know if anyone would catch that.
Game changer
It's been a great addition. I just have to remember I have it as I have decades of work arounds for jobs that a lathe would be the right tool.
Nice find. Now you need a bigger garage.
Heck Yeah.
What.. You did not bring a portable welder.? 😁
That would have been nice!
If you ever get a chance grab the 10A 4 foot. Heavy 10 even better.
I had my eye out for a bigger lathe, they're rare out here. I can find mammoth 3 phase ones or nothing. A 10 is what I really wanted.
sixtyfiveford yep. Hear ya. Out east the SB units come up more often. Check out those ER40 collets. They are cheap and will match what you do.
I have my dads 10A. Like that mill you got. Good luck with both
some audio/video sync issue at the end there, not a big deal in his video but figured id mention it incase you dont notice and the cause of it ended up ruining a full future video
I've been fighting sync issues lately. Thanks for the heads up.
Nice! Make some suppressors now lol
ssshhhhhhhh.
Your assistant was saying "Dad, I can't do that. I don't have opposable thumbs and can't turn the wheels." :'- ((
When I move to Utah we need to be neighbors.
Heck yeah
That way is very worn down. You have to check how straight it is. Many lathes have much more wear nearer the headstock, because most work is short. So if you try to cut a fair length shaft, it won’t cut straight. Be aware of that. It’s hard to tell by just looking at it. 27.5 threads is for pipe.
The last thing, which you may not care about, is leveling the bed. If it’s not leveled properly, one end of a part will have a larger dia than the other. But with a worn bed, it’s only good for part of the bed.
It is worn but so is every other used lathe I've seen on the market. I tested it with a precision straight edge and can just slip a .005" feeler gauge at 18" length(all my usable length). I have a machinist mentor that has worked on every worn out piece of junk out there and says you just need to know where the wear is and compensate. At one pro shop he said you used this identical lathe for nearly a year straight making small 22cal gun parts.
sixtyfiveford well, good luck. Just remember that 0.005 is a 200th of an inch, which is a lot. I’ve got an old Southbend 10 heavy, that I bought used, in 1983, in an auction. It was made in September 1953. Pretty worn bed as it will always be in an old lathe without flame hardening. But there’s simply no way you can compensate for a bed that’s worn, because it’s not worn evenly, and your carriage is worn too. If you make short parts, near the headstock, you can get away with it, often. But if you’re trying to turn a longer piece, the carriage will move closer and further away from the work, and there’s nothing you can do about it, no matter what any “guru” says. My main lathe is also a Southbend, a FOURTEEN, which is how they named it, made in 1980, that I bought in 2002, with a flame hardened bed and carriage, and shows no wear to speak of. I can accurately turn a long shaft on that, but not the 10. Just keep it in mind.
One thing newcomer do is chuck up a 3-4" long piece n turn it with just chuck for support. Learn & take time to center drill , then use your live center. If tail stock to close to work , buy or make a extension. Helps on trueness & if have to repeat work one end have a true center.
Lots of times I drill with a center drill then turn shaft true area for Chuck ,turn end for end & drill with center drill , set live center.
Sounds like monkey work that takes time. Things run truer & when ya want to return a piece , bingo .
All set to go. Most guys in a hurry now a days. Those steps save hours of re work.
Not sure you know this , when turning & get a shaft over 100° which is very easy. Cool down measurement be smaller, or bigger if boring . There's a formula for that that slipped the old noggin. Seen lot of guys do heavy cuts in a hurry & forget this , then the next day parts are loose & like what the ? I know I turned that to spec & now ...,......, .
Have fun , one last hint.
Chuck key is in your hand or in storage. Guys get in habit of leave in Chuck . One time forgetting cost money or pain or both. Chuck keys fly n kill, or bend precious things.
Thanks for the tips!
Nice ! 👍👍👍💖
Hey Thanks.
When the apocalypse happens your garage will probably become the new center of town....
Off topic but how are those yellow kiwis. I've wanted to try it but never had......(ok let me keep watching the rest of the video lol)......" squirrel !!!"
That's funny. I was wondering the same thing when I saw the box. I just grabbed some random boxes from Costco.
getting closer to pole barn time
YES!
