Hi all,

I am looking to buy a Standard Modern lathe in either 11" or 13" in good-excellent condition. I am located in Mississauga Ontario and am looking for a machine within driving distance.

Thanks, Adam

there has been about 15 to 20 13" Standard Modern lathes sold in Edmonton in the last 8 months or so. They were out of the local Technical College. Maybe watch Kigigi.

Adam,
Welcome to PM.
A friend of mine has a 14" that is in excellent condition. An inch too big and maybe to far, but she's a honey.

Thanks for the replies.

I've updated my location. Sweet looking 14". Unfortunately probably a bit too big to haul into my basement workshop.

I went to see the HH Roberts machines. They are asking $3500 for the 13"x34" and $3200 for the 11" x 30", no tooling other than a 3jaw chuck. Machine came out of George brown college. Looked in good condition but a few issues with each one, ie stiff wheels, missing shear pins etc.

I'm planning to check out the Ford Machinery lathes in the next few days.

Happy New Years,

Adam

I had a SM 13x34 for several years. They are great lathes. The shear pin issue is common - I replaced mine once when it sheared for no apparent reason other than old age. I sold it to a friend and later, he had the same issue. If you get the lathe, just make or buy several taper pins and keep them on hand.

$ 3500 is cheap for a good SM lathe - Interplant Sales here in MSP always bids on surplus SM lathes because they are good machines that always sell well - the last time I checked their web site, they had several SM lathes. Around here, plan on about $5000-6000 for a good SM lathe.

There are (2) 11" Standard Modern lathes in this auction in Hamilton:

Assets Of Atlantic Corp Fabricators - Timed Online Auction - Stronghold Equipment - BidSpotter.com

It's Stronghold Equipment, however, so the auction fees are steep, prices are in USD and nothing is guaranteed.
