You have three forward speeds, and three in back gear, and pitch guide on the half nut? My little southbend has 3+3. One of these days, I will put a variable speed drive on it...

Malleus Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Yeah, I didn't really convey what I meant to say. When I realized, it was past the edit period. I meant to say that it would be nice to have more spindle speeds without changing gears. (more than I already have) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Feed gears should be available new. Used might be petty hard to find. I REALLY like being able to use the calculator and shift levers on mine. It is just so much easier and has a much wider range. Beautiful little lathe, good score. I'm happy it's going to a good home. Frosty The Lucky.

Malleus Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Thanks, Frosty! I definitely agree... shift levers for gears are much easier and faster. It's nice to be able to fine tune to the exact speed you're wanting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
