What Jeff said! I got my eye on one too. I just need to make sure it reaches its final destination on the first move.

To be honest, I don't know what the he!! you guys are talking about with all the machinist trade jargon you are using. But hey, I can read and I gots a computer so look out and make way for a rookie.

Basic "RULES"
You are operating a machine. It has no feelings or soul and does not care if flesh gets in the way. THINK before you do.

Safety glasses at ALL times
No loose clothing or long hair ( if you have long hair, tuck it under a hat ) Sleeves either buttoned or rolled up.
Chuck key is in your hand if it's touching the chuck. NEVER EVER leave it in the chuck unless your hand is on it.
make sure the part is secured in the chuck/collet before applying power. Set proper RPM before turning the lathe on.
When using emery cloth, hold it between finger tips ONLY. Never, ever wrap it around any body parts. If it grabs, it will/can pull you into the lathe.

Exactly! You can put you heart and soul into the work you do. Just keep them out of the machine!

With all the tooling you did good. Go to the site Practical Machinist and find the South Bend section you'll learn a lot. This is my SouthBend 27-B, 1922

I like this thread and it got me thinking. I know you guys are plugging the practical machinist site but it seems like we could benefit from some cross training here too.

Some of you machinist guys like Jeff, John, Steve, Adam, etc. could maybe (time permitting of course) post some quick how to threads/videos in the "how to video" section on some of the basics/safety/component ID stuff, or wherever Roland would be cool with it going.

I know from being on here for a while that everyone has their strengths/weaknesses. Some guys are masters at their craft but are still somewhat beginners at other aspects of things like electrical diagnosis/troubleshooting, welding, painting, just to name a few.

For example guys like Todd can learn some basic machinist things but then also in turn show that same person how to use a DVOM and the symbols on it, show volt drop, etc. Tim does already and can still show us more tips/tricks on how to prep/paint.

Anyway, enough of my rambling, Todd congrats on the new/old lathe, the old stuff always fascinates me as it was what we all like around here, built to last. Time to learn to make some stuff buddy.

I'm a little late to this thread, but I may be able to contribute a bit. My hobby is restoring older machine tools. Mostly South bend, Logan lathes, smaller mills, shapers, drill presses and whatever else comes along. I pick them up as I can, then clean, repair and retool as needed. Right now I am working on a South bend 10K lathe, which is almost identical to a 9A.

To the OP, You did good on that 9B. It has the automatic apron, which is a must-have for me. If you want to make yours into a 9A, I have a Quick-Change Gear Box and the correct lead screw that I am about to put up for sale. I also have a couple extra saddles, cross-slides and compounds plus some miscellaneous parts.

I did not see a 3-jaw chuck, unless it was mounted on the spindle. Most people want one, although the pros (not me!) will tell you that 4-jaw is all you need.

Enjoy your new toy - make some chips!

A four jaw is all you NEED,but a three jaw sure makes most things a lot easier.

I'm pretty sure it came with a 3 & 4 jaw chuck. Look at the 3rd & 8th pic I posted. I still haven't done anything with it until my new shop is built. I need to hit the Lottery real bad.

I'm late to the post as well. You did great on your purchase Oak! The tooling makes the lathe and you got a good assortment to start with. I'll put in a plug for The Hobby Machinist website. http://www.hobby-machinist.com/ It's a great group and there are some forums for the novice/beginner to ask questions without ridicule. Browse a little and I think you'll like it.
I recently purchased an Atlas 10" model 10F with a 54" bed, 42" between centers. They were built from 1936 until around 1986 or so. Parts are plentiful. Here's a picture of mine as it was when purchased. It been torn down and is slowly going back together with any repairs/adjustments needed and fresh paint.
Note- Johnathan, if you need Atlas parts for yours, let me know. I found some good parts manuals and sources for new and used parts. Be glad to help you locate what you need.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
