South Bend lathes for sale with videos!!!

I am offering my 4 (four) South Bend lathes for sale. There comes a time in ones life when he realizes he has too much stuff. These four machines have been in my possession for years. Although some were just mounted to benches they were kept in a heated garage as long as I had them. These machines are in awesome condition. The green 9" which can use a new paint job has wear on the ways for the tailstock. It was used mainly for a drill press in a plastic plant. Still cuts beautifully. The rest of the machines exhibit little wear. All have wheels to move around. Some have drawers for storage. All can be disassembled for easy transport. Once these are gone I have a Hendy conehead to move into the garage for rebuild. I am located in NE Pa minutes from the intersection of Intersate 80 and 81 zip 18225. PM me if interested.

I like the casters on the 13" lathe. How are they constructed?

Thanks,

They are just 3" casters that swivel welded to some heavy angle so they have room to swivel. The piece under the legs is 3/8" thick 3x3 angle bolted to the legs. When I bolted the angle to the legs I put a 1/2" spacer between it and the floor. Then I tacked the wheels onto the angle with the wheels touching the floor. It is a very stable setup. Don't go cheap on the wheels. I used hard rubber but steel wheels would be better IMHO.

OK, thanks for info.
