Hey all,
I ran across what I strongly believe to be a South Bend 10L 5C collet adapter at a local auction. Totally random find. No one had any idea what it actually was or belonged to, and the shop didn't have any SB lathes, so I'm not sure how to verify what it is without asking for some help from someone else who has one handy, and a few minutes to check some dimensions.
Hopefully I made this as easy as possible by drawing up the print below with all the measurements I took off the adapter. The only thing I didn't model/dimension was the internal 5C taper, just the clearance bore. Other than the remaining obvious dimensions (lengths, widths, etc) I also measured the OD along the outer proprietary SB taper at two precise locations - 0.750" and 2.250" from the face of the adapter. I did this by making a mark in dykem with a caliper along the taper, then measuring the taper OD at that exact location. Not perfect, but pretty good.
Anyways, what do you guys think - did I maybe get lucky?! Thanks!
