Today I'm going to be unloading my new Southbend 13 lathe. By myself. With nothing but an engine hoist. Hopefully...

When I bought my Heavy-10 five years ago, the guy I bought it from put it on my trailer with a front-end loader. When I got home, I ended up calling one of the local wrecker companies to send out one of their telescoping hoists. They picked it straight up, I drove the trailer out from under it, and they lowered their boom and set it down in the middle of my garage. Best $100 I ever spent.

Bravo Chris. Very inspring!

Chuck a big eyebolt in the chuck. Thread lifting sling through the eyebolt and under the bed. Now you have a stable hoist point directly above the center of gravity, that won't possibly slip, that is not putting force on the precision spindle bearings. Move carriage to precisely balance.

Oh man what a pain. You know it escapes me why lathe manufacturers don't have lifting points as part of their design. I mean, a lot of car engines do have brackets for lifting.

It seems like some of the more modern ones have it. It would have been nice on some of these older machines.

Chris think I used one of those in JR High & High School back in the 70’s. Nice machine

We had a couple in college. I liked them more than the new Chinese machines they had, that’s for sure.

Nice, I have this lathes little brother. Mine doesn't have a VFD, it just has a phase-a-matic static converter. From my understanding it only runs them at 2/3 power, but it's been more than enough for what I use it for.

@ChrisPowellFSD 2 жыл бұрын

I’d like the ability to adjust the speed with the vfd. That’s my main reason for going that route.

The easy part is buying it, Hard part is getting tooling and powering.. That's why i had to get a 220 simgle phase setup in my garage shop

I need some advice. I bought my grandfather's old wrecker business and I've found a 3"x5' stainless steel rod. No paper work or anything. What can I do with it? Or should I sell it?

I just picked up a lathe as well (much smaller). Are you going to be doing some “lathe for beginners videos?”

@ChrisPowellFSD 2 жыл бұрын

Awesome. Yea I think I might. I’ll at least be doing videos on my projects, and they should start out pretty basic.

@@lorigallion2091 that’s what I always thought when I had started out, but it’s not too bad. Metal lathes seem much safer than wood lathes to me. Wood lathes still make me nervous.
