South Bend Countershaft Driven Lathes

The South Bend Countershaft Driven Back-Geared, Screw Cutting Lathes are recommended for shops which are equipped with overhead lineshafting. They are built in 9", 1 1", 13", 15", 1 6" and 18" swings, in Standard and Quick Change Gear types. Principal specifica-tions and prices are shown in the tabu-lation below. Regular Lathe Equipment included in price of lathe consists of: Double fric-tion countershaft; large face place; small face plate; tool post, ring and wedge; adjustable thread cutting stop; two 60° lathe centers; spindle sleeve; center rest; follower rest; change gears with Standard Change Gear Lathes; wrenches ; installation plan and book, "How to Run a Lathe."
South Bend Silent V-Belt Motor Driven Lathes The South Bend Silent V-Belt Motor Driven Lathe is an efficient, accurate and powerful tool. A motor, mounted on a tilting table above the headstock, transmits power to the driving cone by multiple V-belts. A flat leather belt is used between driving cone and spindle cone. Has belt tension adjustments and a release for easy belt shifting. Regular Lathe Equipment consists of: Silent V-belt motor drive unit; large face plate; small face plate; tool post, ring and wedge; adjustable thread cutting stop; two 60° lathe centers; spindle sleeve; center rest; follower rest; wrenches; installation plan and book, "How to Run a Lathe." Electrical Equipment consists of: In-stant reversing motor; drum reyersing switch; wiring between motor and switch enclosed in flexible metal con-duit; one flat leather belt; necessary V-belts, and directions for wiring. When ordering give specifications of electric current to be used.

The Underneath Belt Motor Driven Lathe is newly designed, modern in appearance, powerful and noiseless in operation. The motor and drive mechanism is a compact unit, completely enclosed in cabinet leg under headstock. Power is smoothly, evenly and silently transmitted by direct belt drive to the headstock cone pulley. Mul-tiple V-belts convey the power from motor to the lower drive cone pulley. Belt tension adjustments and a release for easy belt shifting are provided. The Underneath Belt Motor Driven Lathe can be had in either Quick Change Gear or Standard Change Gear type. Prices of both types are shown below. A Reversing Switch (drum type) conveniently located, controls the motor and provides instantaneous starting, stopping and re-versing of the lathe spindle. Features of This Lathe include: Wide range of spindle speeds; automatic friction longitudinal feed; automatic power cross feed; graduated compound rest; tailstock set over for taper turning; self-ejecting tailstock center; carriage lock; spring latch re-verse for screw threads and feeds.

Fig. 2. Machining a Flywheel for a Steel Starter Gear in the 16" x 8' South Bend Lathe

Machining Flywheels
For machining flywheels for steel starter gears,truing the clutch face, and handling other fly-
wheel servicing operations, we recommend the16" x 8' South Bend Lathe as listed in the
No. 16 Shop Equipment on page 14. The South Bend method of mounting flywheels, as shown
in Fig. 3, is efficient and accurate and insures that the machined surface of the flywheel will
run true with the axis of the crankshaft. Fly-wheel servicing can also be done on the 18-inch
and #36-inch lathes.

for Steel Starter Gears
Tf e time required to machine a flywheel in the lathe and fit it with a new steel starter gear
is from 20 to 30 minutes. For prices of fly- wheel servicing equipment, see page 27.
In addition to servicing flywheels, the 16-inch lathe is practical for truing brake drums of de-
mountable wheels, servicing crankshafts, driveshafts and axles, pistons, connecting rods, dif -
differentials, valves, bushings, armaratures , cut tin gib screw threads, for general machine and repair
work, and hundreds of other jobs.

Fig. 2. Machining a Flywheel for a Steel Starter Gear in the 16" x 8' South Bend Lathe

Machining Flywheels
For machining flywheels for steel starter gears,truing the clutch face, and handling other fly-
wheel servicing operations, we recommend the16" x 8' South Bend Lathe as listed in the
No. 16 Shop Equipment on page 14. The South Bend method of mounting flywheels, as shown
in Fig. 3, is efficient and accurate and insures that the machined surface of the flywheel will
run true with the axis of the crankshaft. Fly-wheel servicing can also be done on the 18-inch
and #36-inch lathes.

for Steel Starter Gears
Tf e time required to machine a flywheel in the lathe and fit it with a new steel starter gear
is from 20 to 30 minutes. For prices of fly- wheel servicing equipment, see page 27.
In addition to servicing flywheels, the 16-inch lathe is practical for truing brake drums of de-
mountable wheels, servicing crankshafts, driveshafts and axles, pistons, connecting rods, dif -
differentials, valves, bushings, armaratures , cut tin gib screw threads, for general machine and repair
work, and hundreds of other jobs.
