It
seems to me the more popular South Bend lathes are the 9" and 10"
models. As a result, there's a lack of information regarding
13"
and larger models, although they share many common features with the
smaller lathes. It is my hope that this website provides a
useful
service to anyone working with 13" South Bends.
This
website wouldn't
be what it is without the ongoing help of a few remarkable individuals,
who have donated their time to help with the content. In
particular, I'd like to thank Messrs. C. Green and G. McLane for
their efforts (and patience). |
