Looking for South Bend Project #68.5 "A Slide Rest for the 8-Inch Bench Lathe"
Hi all. This is my first post at practical machinist. Thanks for having me!
My father owned a machine shop when I was young, and now that I'm grown I'd like to have my own lathe. I make a lot of small parts for pinball machines and I've been doing it all on the drill press. Eventually I'd like to make the lathe described in "How to make a 8-inch bench lathe in the school shop," but for now I am making a small no-frills lathe. I am looking for the Slide Rest plans (as described in South Bend Machine Shop Course and How to make an 8-inch Lathe) as they will help me with both projects. I have spent hours looking all over the internet and all the sticky's in this forum. I did not sign up for all the yahoo groups. I was wondering if someone knew of this drawing somewhere, either in downloadable or book form.
Thanks in advance. I am looking forward to being a part of this forum.
