Sure seems like a good deal. Good luck finding it a new home. The little archery bow in the bucket should be a deal closer for sure!
 
Wow Bill :thumbup: That is a great deal !

I'm curious, it looks as if the collet chuck size is R8 vs 5C. Am I seeing it correctly ? Whatever the case, thats a good solid machine for the home shop, especially with the collet set-up :thumbup: :thumbup:

I predict she won't last long at all ;)


:cool:
 
I am by no means an expert when it comes to machine shop tools but the bearings and ways seem to be in good condition. Everything is pretty tight. I used it to make thumb studs etc. with it and never had any issues.
 
that almost like the first lathe i learned how to run only that one is a little older. does the back gear still work ok on it?
 
I'm with Richard, looks a little older than the lathe I learned on. If I was close to you, I'd be there already to pick it up. Somebody's going to get a great deal. Good luck in selling it.
 
What is the approx overall dimensions and weight? Will the lathe dismount from the base easily?

thanks

It's about 5' long and 3' wide with the motor and pulley assembly. It is simply bolted to the stand so I am assuming it can be easily removed. I haven't a clue about the weight other than it's not something you can easily move around by yourself.

I'd jump all over that if I lived anywhere near you. I got my start using an old strap driven South Bend very similar to that one.
 
I have the same model and they sure are great lathes. I also have the collet set and use them all the time. That is a very very good price.

I have two and they are both 9a's, this one is a 9c. The first one a friend and I brought down my basement fully assembled. The second one I had to do by myself and I took off all I could and strapped it to a refrigerator cart. The 9a's are a bit heavier because all the gears and gear box are built into the lathe. The second one also had a taper att. that adds some more weight. If I remember right, South Bend listed the shipping weight around 650 lbs. but once you take off the motor, chuck, tail-stock it's not bad. The carriage and lead screw comes off pretty easy, too.
If you want it I wouldn't worry about moving it to much.
 
I think this is a 9B.......it has the powered cross-slide, the 9C only has the powered carriage. :confused:
 
If I hadnt taken a @#%@#%@#$ massive pay cut last month, i'd be all over this, and i'm in easy driving distance with a pickup too. =( I know i'll be kicking myself for not just jumping on it anyways. /drool
 
Bill,
Would you please pm me your address so I can see how far away you are from me? That's a nice lathe and I'm seriously considering it.
Thanks
