Description: Rebuild Manual For South Bend 10L, 10R, 13", 14 1/2", 16" Industrial Lathes Published and Sold in the USA by ILION Industrial Services, LLC A must-have reference book for the South Bend Lathe enthusiast from ILION Industrial Services: "A Guide to Renovating the South Bend Lathe for Models 10L and 10R (known as the Heavy 10), 13" 14.5" and 16". The manual is a bound 8.5" x 11" soft cover, 156 pages in length and is fully illustrated with over 450 B&W photographs plus step-by-step instructions on refurbishing your lathe. For close-up views of sample pages from the book, see the additional photos included above. Click on the "enlarge" button to see the examples more clearly. As you will notice, this is NOT a fuzzy Xerox reprint of an existing manual. This book was painstakingly produced over a period of two years specifically with the South Bend Lathe enthusiasts in mind and it addresses the most commonly asked questions and methods for how to renovate a used lathe. Even though South Bend ceased production of these fine quality these lathes years ago, there are still thousands of serviceable lathes sitting out there in home shops, small businesses, schools and machinery dealers. Our book takes the guess work out of what to do if you find one and decide to purchase. The details include the sequence for disassembling, cleaning, reassembling and adjusting the critical components of the heavy 10, 13", 14 1/2" and 16" industrial lathes. The basic design of the industrial series of lathes was essentially the same except for the scale so the 10L and 13" lathes are primarily used for demonstration purposes in the manual but all steps will apply directly to the 14.5" and 16" lathes as well. The manual has specific chapters dedicated to both the single tumbler and double tumbler style of gearbox as shown in the photos above. Additional information is included for evaluating and purchasing a used SBL if you are not lucky enough to already own one, we have added a section on refinishing industrial machinery plus a guide on how to handle special fasteners like taper pins. The typeface of the manual is printed two points larger than normal for those of us who prefer to work at the bench without reading glasses. The instructions are very straight forward and no prior machinery rennovation experience is required. The manual also includes a list of resources for vintage SBL owners as well as parts references, tool requirements, lubrication guides and material specifications. If you have a Southbend lathe, don't miss your chance to pick up a complete guide for a very reasonable price. PLEASE NOTE: This manual does not cover the 9" workshop or the 10K "light ten" lathes since they are distinctly different designs. The South Bend 9" and 10k manual is for sale in our ebay store so please check that listing if you are interested. Just click on the "see other items" beside my user ID and you will be taken to the ebay store.
