Hey guys,

This is my South Bend Model 28.  following a serial number query South Bend states it is a 11 inch swing built in 1914 and sold to a tech school outside of Indy.  It had a nice coating of oxidation from not being used in over 50 years when I purchased it.  I spent a winter compleatly disassembling this lathe and removing all the grim and after cleaning, miked the dimensions and modeled each part in AutoCAD (a rendering and the exploded view I created are shown in two images).  I also engineered a new electric motor drive for it as the drive that came with was kind of shoddy.  It works like a charm now.

xxxx, that's nice.  you won't have to worry about bumping into it and upsetting opened beers.
