Looking at a Southbend 113B lathe (13" swing, 5 ft. bed). It's 250 miles away so I haven't seen it in person. From the pictures that the owner sent me it looks really clean with lots of tooling . Anyone else have one that could give me some additional insight?
Whats the thru bore ID on the headstock?
Whats the max RPM?
Looks like they were around 1940's vintage?
Looks like cast iron segmented spindle bearings?
Good, Bad or stay away?
 
You can check and see if this can be upgraded in the future, should you choose to go that route. The headstock bearings might be smaller in this case though, but I'd make sure.
