Not only are these old videos interesting for the subject matter, but it's great to see what these tools looked like when factory new with shiny parts and only one coat of oil-stain-free paint.

Wonderful exposition of the well known standard work- "How to Run a Lathe" by South Bend- perhaps the most ubiquitous of all 'lathe books' by far. I was very happy to see this video version of many key points of the book. Though for over 40 years, we've been selling machine tools, and still have one left of these SB heavy floor models illustrated; it was a treat to be able to 'hear' the book. :-) J.Doak Machineco.

So the worm gear is always spinning so long as the screw is turning? You'd think it eventually wear and get unacceptable backlash pretty quickly. Funny they put a key way all the way down the screw to essentially couple it to a larger screw. Love this video.
@loukeister6382
6 жыл бұрын
josh, the lead screw key way drives the gear in the apron that runs the feed mechanism, you only use the threads on the lead screw when you're threading. That's what the half nut lever does, by grabbing the screw thread when it's closed.

I can relate to everything in this video. Worked on machines with similar features. I have even worked on a 1918 lathe in reasonably good nick for screw cutting too. In some respects not much has changed. Tool posts have and some quick features on screw cutting. So long as the lathe is in good nick lots of different parts can be made. Not sure if a SBL could handle carbide but I also grew up with HSS. Still use it too at times. There are some things carbide just cant do.

binness. theres a lathe then theres a "lathe". I dont think it was ever meant that a lathe could duplicate its self but that a lathe alone could be used to build a lathe. the resulting lathe may well be a primitive machine bearing only a passing resemblance to its parent machine but it is still a functioning lathe.
