| 24" Southbend lathe weight |
| I am going to a
school auction in a week or so and there is a 24" Southbend lathe
being offered. Can any one tell me the approx weight of this machine
and the physical size of it. The preview is only a couple of hours
before the actual sale and a long distance from my home, so I cannot
look at it much before the auction. I would also like to know what
the 24" designates, the swing, or distance between centers? I
am very new to turning of anything, but have wanted a metal lathe
for a long time and this may be my chance to get a machine at a
reasonable price. Bob (907) |
| Bob, I hope you have a big shop, the
24" usually means the diameter of the part it will turn. As far as
actual dimensions I have no idea but I believe it would be very
large depending on the bed length. Can you contact the auctioneer
and have them measure it for you. What do you plan to do with a
lathe when you get one, that will determine how large of a swing you
need. Most home shops use 6", 9", 10" or 12" with a few using lathes
larger than this. I would think that you would need an overhead
crane just to change the chuck on a 24" lathe. Of course if they
listed it by bed length then none of this applies. Randy (908) |
| Bob I d have to
agree with Randy and emphasize to try to contact the auctioneer or
possibly the school. I just bought a 13 Sebastian lathe; it weighs
about 2000 pounds. As to contacting the school, I went to an auction
at a local tech school a couple of weeks ago. The inspection was
supposedly from 8-10 AM the Saturday morning of the auction with the
sale beginning at 10. I went out there several days ahead of time as
they had a lot of machine shop equipment available in one of the
shops. What I was interested in was an old Bridgeport mill that I
felt was outside since it wasn't listed with the other shop
equipment (I've been to their sales before). I found a guy in the
supply department and asked him if he minded if I walked over and
looked at the mill as I could see that it was in fact outside. He
was more than agreeable; stating that there was more machine shop
equipment in such such building about 3 blocks away and I was
welcome to look at it also. After all THEY WANT TO GET THE BEST
PRICE POSSIBLE so it don t hurt to see if they'll bend the rules.
(909) |
| Bob, The 24" South Bend is a 16" with
riser blocks at the headstock, tailstock and carriage. This is a BIG
heap o' iron and weighs in at between 2500 and 3500 lbs and was
available with bed lengths from 6' to 14'. My gut feeling is that if
you are new to machining, it's too big for what you need. Also,
since it is really a souped up 16" it probably lacks the "cajones"
of a proper 24" swing machine. I've got a 13" and so far it handles
everything I've needed it to do. I could do most of my work on a
Heavy 10. Look at 9" or 10" lathes if this will be your first
machine. Chris (910) |
| Thank all. I contacted the auctioneer last night and asked about loading
facilities and he said there was nothing a couple of good men
couldn't put in a truck! So I asked about the 24" Southbend and he
said that he wasn't sure if it was the bed length or not, but it is
definitely a bench top model. The hunt will continue and I will let
the group know if I am successful in bagging this one. Chris I have
already made that 'mistake' with a wood lathe. It is a monster and
weighs in excess of 3000 lbs. Really looking for a small metal lathe
and this sound like it will fit the bill. Bob (913) |
| Weight of
Chucks for 9" SBL? |
| In order to retool
after my loss, I've been researching 3 4-jaw chucks, and Rick's
comment about the 6" Bison 6-jaw set-tru weighing too much makes me
wonder if the 6" 3-jaw Bisons are too big for my 9" SBL. The one
reference point I have left is an old 6" 3-jaw (which I have to
replace) that weighs in at about 11 pounds. I'd like to get the
Bison 6" threaded-back
3-jaw (Enco #271-4155), but its 19 pounds. It's expensive, and I'd
have to wait a bit, but I'd like to stick with Bison for the 3-jaw
unless all 6" Bisons are too heavy. I'm saying 6" because that's
what my 9" had (before they were stolen), but if a 5" will serve
just as well, that's an option. On the 4-jaw topic, looks like the
6" Enco direct mount (#271-6382, $104.95), weighing in at 10 Lbs. is
a candidate. I take it that one can save a little money on a 4-jaw
and use that savings towards a better 3-jaw. Paul R. (2933) |
| Paul, I'm at work
and can't check things out, so I'll post more into tonight or over
the weekend. What I recall is the 6" 4-jaw
that came with my 9" is 20 lbs and does not seem too large at all.
The Bison 6" 6-jaw set-thru was 28 or 29 lbs and that was clearly too
much. I have a Bison 6" 4-jaw that I really like (with my Atlas 10")
and it also doesn't seem too large but I don't recall its weight,
I'm thinking 15 lbs, but it might be as much as 20. Instead of the
Bison 6-jaw, I got a Bison 5" 3-jaw threaded
back, 2-piece reversible jaws. Its a really nice chuck but the
runout is excessive ( out of tolerance) and there is no easy way to
convert it to adjustable (did this with a Bison 4" 3-jaw flat back
and its wonderful, URL below). I have already obtained return
authorization. I will get a Bison 5" flat back threaded backplate
and make an adjustable chuck of it. Don't know the weights on these
offhand, but they are often listed in J L or other catalogs URL to
my adjustable backplate page:

Rick K. (2934) |
| What Rick is saying
about the 5" 3 jaw chuck corresponds with the chart in "How To Run A
Lathe" that gives the sizes for 3 4 jaw chucks for lathes from 9 to
16 in swing. Clearance of the jaws when the chuck is opened wide is
also a consideration. There is no advantage to a larger chuck if the
jaws hit the lathe bed when you open it up. RC (2936) |
| Well there it is,
on page 55 of my 1944 printing of "How to Run a Lathe." Thanks, RC.
It does indeed list a 6" 4-jaw and a 5" 3-jaw. Paul R. (2938) |
Paul, On page #1
of the new, Feb/Mar "Machinist's Workshop" is an ad from New England
Brass and Tool, Inc. that
shows Bison 3 and 6 jaws Set-Tru lathe chucks. What is new is they
are offering smaller sizes. There is a 4" and 5" 3 jaw as well as
the 6" and also there is a 5" six jaw with the 6" and 8". I have
never see these smaller sizes. The 4", 3
jaw set-tru is 7.3 lbs and they are selling it for $335. The 5" 3
jaw set-tru is 11 lbs and goes for $350. That seems a little steep
but I paid over $450.00 10 years ago for a "Yessa" 5" set-tru chuck
from MSC.
http://www.BrassAndTool.com/ I have never dealt with New England
Brass and Tool, Inc., so I can't say anything about them one way or
another. Has anyone had any experience with them? Tex (2939) |
| Paul: If it's any
consolation, the 6" Cushman 3 jaw I have mounted on my 10K ("light
10", or glorified 9") weighs 20lbs. and I've not had any trouble
with spindle bearings or anything else due to its heftiness. Raymond
(2940) |
| Tex, I've bought
a few things from them over the years. They seem to be good folks,
had a few pleasant chats with the owners (Bob and Carolyn) at Cabin
Fever last year. Not the cheapest folks in some cases, but they do
seem to restrict the import products they offer to good through high
quality stuff, rather than rounding out their line with junky
filler. I'd think that anything from them will be of good quality
based on experience and what I've seen at the show. I believe that
Carolyn is the daughter of Fred Fowler, of Fowler tools. I've always
been happy with anything made by Bison, although I don't have any of
their chucks, just some centers, end mill holders, and odd adapters.
The chucks I looked at operated smoothly and were very nicely
finished. Stan (2941) |
| Dang, this is the
info I was asking for a week or so ago and no one said anything. I
have that book but didn't see it. There it is,
page 55. It speaks to size and jaws hitting the bed, but not to
weight. In the case of the 6" 6-jaw set-true chuck, the jaws didn't
hit the bed when extended about as far as I'd use it, I decided it
was just too heavy. I was afraid of undue spindle wear. No sense in
ruining a beautiful machine. Rick K. (2942) |
| I wish there was
some info on how to determine the allowable masses for these lathes
- I want to machine a fairly heavy part on my SB 13" (also plain
bearings, although bronze insert). I assume that the chuck mass
allowances must assume some allowance for workpiece mass too. I
think it is possible to look up the allowable loading on different
types of plain bearing materials in pressure units - the question
then is do we have to use a figure an allowance for the forces due
to eccentric mounting of this mass, and cutting force, in addition
to the force of gravity that pulls on the chuck. Chris (2943) |
| Chris I do not know
how heavy those bronze pieces that I bored and turned for new
bearings for one of out centerless grinders weighed but they were
not light. Figure 7" diameter by 6" long and finish bored to
4.250/4.255 hanging free with out end support from my 5" Enco 3-jaw
for boring. Of course I was in high back gear as I did not want to
fling it across the room if it grabbed. No pictures of this were
taken but I have pictures of the head block for a ETW light mill and
the quill for it which were machined to a tight slip fit in the SB
with the cheap Enco 5" 4-jaw direct mount. The block for the head is
of 7075-T6 and was 6x6x3.25 when started. The bore for the quill was
fitted by boring to the 304 SS quill which is 2.5000 diameter. I
actually got them to close and am going to have to open thing up
before I can finish it and mount it on the old Burke mill. JWE
(2944) |
| Paul I would go
with the 5" 3-jaw and 6" 4-jaw plain back from Enco and buy threaded
blank backplates for them. I have used the 3-jaw for about ten years
and it is just as good as the bison I bought in the mid 70s for
twice as much. I just last year bought the 6" 4-jaw and it is large
for the lathe but will work. Picture below shows how it fills things
up. JWE (2945) |
| JWE, Are these
mixed messages or not? Apples Oranges? On one hand, you talk about a
huge chunk of bronze 7"dia x 6"long hung out on a 5" 3-jaw chuck,
presumably saying that that much weight is not too much for a SB9.
How much did that combination weigh? I believe the suggestion was
there that this was no problem. You also talk about how a 6" chuck
"fills up" the SB 6. Are not these different matters? (I know you
posted them separately, but I'm trying to figure out which is which.
The question I posed a week or so ago was about these questions.
Whether a 6" chuck, 28 - 29 lbs being too much to run on a plain
bearing SB9. It does fill up the lathe in one sense: apparent size,
but it is not too large in terms of the jaws/ways etc. But, yes, it
could be too much weight. So what about the weight range? When does
the weight of a chuck/work piece induce significantly more wear on
the spindle bearings? 20 lbs? 30 lbs? 40 lbs? Inquiring minds want
to know and so does a guy with a really nice chuck, about to be
returned. Rick K. (2946) |
| Paul: I just
bought a 5" 3jaw bison chuck from a dealer in Toronto for $200 cdn.
I think that it is a perfect size for my 9"SB It has the 2 piece
jaws, and is more robust than the 3jaw SB chuck that it replaces. I
dialed a piece of 5/8 drill rod and it ran out at .002" Not bad I
thought The only down I find is that the chuck could be tighter on
the spindle nose, but as I said .002 is not to bad. And you can't
beat the price (about $120.00 suds). Pete (2947) |
| It's nice to see
that I'm not the only one who believes in a cluttered work
environment ;-) So much stuff, so little space. Matt (2948) |
| I have a 10" South
Bend with a 6" Bison 3 jaw and also a 6" Bison 6 jaw. These are both
heavy chucks but both work well and have done so for several years.
This weight and more is not a problem for the spindle bearings as
long as they are kept filled with clean oil. If not, then running
with no chuck will cause damage. The Bison 6 jaw is a particularly
nice chuck and worth the price. I find it easier to make custom jaws
for the 3 jaw chuck though - fewer top jaws to make. Ward M.
(2949) |
| Rick It is not so
much the weight as the size. The 4-jaw as the picture shows really
fills things up and the 3-jaw is even bigger and heavier as I have
the 6" on the 12x36 at work and it is huge on comparison with the
5". JWE (2950) |
| Heavy 10
weight? |
| Anyone have an idea
how much the heavy 10 SB weighs, with the cast front legs and rear
cabinet? I will be picking it up in early June, and just wanted to
get a general idea. I figured a U-haul 4x8' open trailer, with my
engine hoist would be the way to transport, as someone on the list
mentioned. I will be looking into a small pickup rental, as my F150
is on the fritz at the moment. Last time I rented a pickup from
Enterprise, the clerk mentioned a per mileage charge, after the
allotted 250 miles? I will have to look into this. I figured the
cherry picker, with the low deck height u-haul trailer, would be the
easiest to load and unload? William (19144) |
| Just under 1000
lbs. Take a 1/4" screwdriver and 7/8" wrench and remove the
tailstock, saddle/apron and it gets lighter. Some cord or wood
blocks to hold the lead screw because you need to remove the end
bearing to take the saddle off. You can remove the headstock easily
as well. A set of wrenches and a couple of flat screwdrivers in good
shape are all that is needed for tools. A couple of moderately
strong helpers will come in handy. Some tie down straps as it is top
heavy even with the above mentioned stuff removed. If you lift it
with a strap the center of balance is approximately under the chuck.
Use wood blocks to protect the lead screw from pressure of the
strap. A few pieces of 2x4 will work. JP (19161) |
| IIRC, the 4 footer
is between 800 to 900 lbs. No problem for the 4x8 open U-haul
trailer. There have been many posts of guys hauling Bridgeports
(2000+ lb) in them. Low trailer with cherry picker to unload is the
best way, that's how I moved mine. Lift the load, have someone drive
the trailer out from under, then you set it down on a pallet jack or
dollies. Jeff front legs and rear cabinet? I figured a U-haul 4x8'
open trailer, figured the cherry picker, with the low deck would be
the easiest to load and unload? (19162) |
| I've moved my 4'
heavy 10 toolroom twice with a relatively old well made American
cherry picker (my dad made it in grad. school 40 years ago). No need
to take it apart if you've got a decent hoist of some kind. TJ
(19167) |
| A 13" Lathe is
about 1500 pounds and in no problem in a 4 by 8 U- Haul. A heavy 10
should weigh even less. (19171) |
| Weight of a
South Bend Model A |
| I've put a South
Bend Model A bench lathe (not a cabinet lathe) on eBay and am
getting questions about weight and shipping charges that I can't
answer. Anybody here have an idea how much this lathe weighs? Larry (19659) |
| Its really not
important as you cannot ship it via UPS or by the post office. It
will ship (amazingly) for around 100.00 tops from anywhere to
anywhere in the US via Forward Air. All you have to do is strap it
to a pallet. There rates are amazing (19660) |
| I've used Forward
Air before, myself. The shipper dropped off the stuff at a terminal
near him and I picked it up at another one near me. They are a
trucking company. I don't know why they call themselves Forward Air.
Maybe because they ship stuff from the vicinity of one airport to
another. Try googleling Forward Air. Glen (19661) |

| 9" weight
spec needed |
| My SB 9"
toolroom lathe is currently in transit, and the shipper has,
apparently, looked up the weight of the lathe on some catalog spec
sheet, and come up with a weight of 600lb for just the lathe. As a
result, they want to charge significantly more than the original
estimate, which was based on a lesser weight. Might there be anyone
out there who could scan of a spec sheet for a late 40's or early
50's SB 9" toolroom lathe, giving the assembled weight? At least
with that I could force them to re-weigh it, rather than them
relying on some erroneous catalog weight. Ed
(20762) |
| Ed- Depends on a
number of things. Is it a motor under or bench top model? Bed
length? I have a 1944 catalog here. that lists a toolroom motor
under as 630 pounds. They list the bench toolroom lathe as
400,425,450 pounds depending on bed length. Jeff (20763) |
| Ed, You'd
think they could just drive over to one of those scales and weigh
the thing. Course that's assuming they know how much their truck and
everything else weighs! They could wait until it is unloaded, once
it is off the truck and then reweigh the truck. Then settle with
you. I'm sure you'd be okay with that? Brian (20766) |
| I know, I know, but
what can you do. They provided my uncle (who is the shipper) with a
weight breakdown, listing the lathe alone as 600 lb. Looking in the
files section I came across the scans of an add from 1948 Pop Sci -
that ad lists the complete, crated shipping weight of the
motor-under type A toolroom as 630lb. That should be about the
_total_ weight of this shipment, as in fact that is exactly what is
coming. But to take that as lathe-only weight and then add the crate
and accessories on top is just wrong. Ed (20769) |
| It would help
if you gave more info. A3 foot bed/3 1/2 ft. / 4 ft. is: 550 lbs
boxed/ crated 440 lbs. 565 lbs " " 455 lbs 580 lbs " " 580 lbs
(20772) |
| I have actually had
them hit me with a "reweigh" charge before. Where I used a weight
and they thought it was more, reweighed it, adjusted for the higher
weight and slapped on the reweigh charge. I don't know about the
weighing the truck thing, but a lot of times they have a scale right
in the forklift. When the pick the crate it shows the weight. weigh
the else then with that? (20773) |
| According to the ad
in the image Ps07d.jpg in the Files a 9" motor-underneath 3.5'
toolroom lathe was 630 lb. According to my uncle, the shipper had
that weight (or close enough) listed for the lathe alone, and then
had line item weights for each item on the list. In theory, the
total shipping weight now should be about the same as the total
shipping weight then, and frankly I doubt the shipper opened the
crate and shrink wrap to weigh each item individually. And I would
be immensely peeved if they did! Ed (20774) |
| Ed I just
acquired a 9" model A myself so I've been perusing the web looking
for information on it. I ran across the weight specs on one of the
sites but don't remember which site it was. ( I'll send it to you
when I find it again) Anyway, I do remember the weight spec because
I just moved mine into a basement shop by myself and was curious
about how heavy it really was. The South Bend co. speced the weight
at 571 lbs. Ed (20965) |
| Weights of the
various South Bend |
| Where I can find the weights of the various South Bend lathes??
Someone is giving me a SouthBend that has been "sitting under oily
rags" for 15 years. It was in an Auto Shop class in a High School,
and used to turn car axles. He doesn't remember which lathe it is,
and I have to prepare the right structures etc. to get this beast
down four steps and into a hurricane door. I am going to have a hard
time to find 5 eager friends with good backs at the same time more
than once if I'm not prepared!!!! I told him to at least measure the
height from the spindle center to the lathe bed and that would get
me 80% there. I can't seem to find the weights of these things
listed anywhere? How heavy is YOURS? Bernie (25108) |
| The 10L (heavy 10)
is 1000lbs with a 4.5' bed. (25111) |
| WOW! Is that
including the stand? I know that is a girthy machine so that is
probably just the lathe itself! Wow! do I have a job ahead of me!
Bernie (25116) |
| Complete machine,
half a ton, balance point is just under the chuck with the tailstock
slid up to the spindle. (25118) |
| Heavy Ten
lathes "Shipping Weight" which will include the shipping container
(crate?) range from 810 lbs. to 1060 lbs. depending on bed length,
w/ or w/o taper attachment, etc. This will include the cabinet (if
it is a cabinet or "bench" model) or the cast iron pedestal base.
The 9 inch bench models were sold w/o the bench. The customer was
expected to supply the bench. Their shipping weights range from 335
lbs. to 430 lbs. depending on bed length, etc. The 9 inch cabinet
model (or underneath motor drive) lathes were 550 lbs. to 570 lbs.
crated. This includes the cabinet base. The 10K isn't listed in the
catalogue that these weights were listed in but it is accentually
the same as the 9 inch model. I would estimate that it would weigh
about 10 lbs. to 20 lbs. more than is 9 inch counterpoint. It should
be noted that the shipping weights do NOT include the weight of the
motor because it wasn't included with the lathe. The customer paid
extra for that. Webb (25119) |

David for correcting me on the 10K weight. Scott, I was using
Catalogue No: 25 for the weights I posted. There is no date inside
so I don't know when the catalogue was printed. I paraphrased it
where you were more specific. I did notice that some models were
significantly different in weight (some lighter, some heavier) where
other models were the same weight as listed in my catalogue. I
wonder why the weights are different? Perhaps it is because the
Heavy Ten listed in my catalogue are the single tumbler type and do
not sport chip pans in the illustrations. This (plus the fact that
there isn't any mention of the 10K Lathe) means that this catalogue
is pretty old. Anyway, there is plenty of info now for the original
poster to use. Webb (25128) |
| Don't overlook the
possibility that it is a 13 or 16 which would be much heavier. Your
best bet is to go look at it. Measure the distance from the center
of the spindle to the bed and the length of the bed. Read the serial
number found on top of the bed at the right read corner. Note the
base style to see if it is a bench lathe, mounts on a cabinet, or
has a cast iron pedestal and legs.
