South bend Series O Refurbishment Help Needed
What you want is called a "back plate", and you usually can buy them already threaded to your spindle nose - You then machine them, on your lathe, to fit your chuck. You can also get blank, un-threaded ones. In your case, the 1 5/8" nose will make it hard to find one already threaded - I looked...- Tom A

For large disassembled pieces - Outside, sprayed with purple, green, yellow, etc, stuff, or oven cleaner - Let soak and then pressure wash, blow dry with compressed air.

Can anyone Identify this old lathe?
I think you should be resigned to just use as a wood lathe - It's missing too much to use for metal work.- Tom A

Clausing Lathe ID Help Needed
I have an older one, with the cast iron legs. Not really heavy - Just guessing maybe 600 lbs +/-, maybe less. Lift one side at a time, put some 2x skids under the feet, and it shouldn't be a big deal.- Tom A

Need info on GE 70808 mill. Never saw one before
It's actually not a bad size for a small shop, and looks like a relatively simple machine to work on - I've seen worse looking ones brought back to usefulness.- Tom A

Is this a Kennedy Tool Box?
The brown wrinkle "touch up" paint from Kennedy is / was brutally expensive, if it's still even available. I've heard of some people repainting the boxes with the more common black wrinkle VHT paint, and then overcoating the wrinkle with brown. But I agree with the others that say that you...- Tom A

OT- bait for mouse traps?
I knew a guy (long since deceased), that lived in a run down, rent controlled apartment, in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, NYC. After his death, a friend of his told me that the guy used to do that with rats, sitting up with a bottle of Jack Daniels, and a .22 pistol. He'd put a red light... -

OT- bait for mouse traps?
For mice, peanut butter usually works, but only limited success with our local rats. THEN, we started hot gluing a pecan half to the pedal - That worked like a charm :~) -

Niles camelback drill on Municibid
Could be just a bent bit - The person writing up the bid description may not have known how to get the bit out of the taper to check it with another one. Obviously, personal inspection is needed.- Tom A

Can anyone ID this piece of equipment
I think you're right, ratbldr427 ! After I saw your post, I showed the photo to my wife, who once worked in the print shop of a small newspaper - She said the bar at the left hand end would have held a huge roll of paper, or maybe was a guide roller for a roll in the center, which was fed over...- Tom A
