Headstock spindle shims
I am wondering if anyone can tell me where I can get the headstock spindle shims for S.B. 10K. I have tried South Bend Parts, and cannot get through.
Any Help would be appreciated

My advise would be. Make your own. I bought some a few years ago and they looked like a four year old cut them out with dull scissors. Kenny

I agree - I just made my own for my 10L, and they work really well. You can buy shim stock from your local hardware store (ACE works too) or McMaster - I got sheets of 0.015, 0.005, 0.002 and 0.001" (they had an assortment pack for the smaller ones); I got brass shim stock. This you can cut with shears, and punch with a knockout punch. It won't be as pretty as the old ones, but it will work just as well

As this statement has absolutely zero to back it up, it's utterly meaningless. For all we know you are a nut case.
