I recently bought my first lathe it's a South Bend 15x8. I have been searching for weeks online and finally got my serial card. However this thing might as well be in Arabic. Can someone tell me where to find out where to go to decode the card.
Serial # 71576
Catalog # 114 E
Head stock 7
Tail stock 10
Saddle 2
Compound Rest 2
Gear Box 2
I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me. I need to make a dead center but don't know what the taper in the spindle is. I am making a taper attachment similar to this one http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/general/adding-taper-attachment-299032/ Post #13
Thanks in advance
