    Sudden Onset Chatter Issues - riding the struggle bus and need some HELP, please.

    Don't use any oil with detergents made for engine use. The detergents can damage the bronze bearing surfaces. Use non detergent single grade oils as suggested by SB or equivalents on the Saybolt chart.

    South Bend 9 x 4 1/2 - Wide Bed

    Another useful manual is for the Hercus. Hercus was the Aussie copy of the SB lathe:[url=https://tokentoolroom.com/files/Text%20book%20of%20turning.pdfIt] is a good book to read with the SB- How To Run A Lathe.
