Hello crew. I am finally at the point of reassembling my 2nd SB lathe, a very nice
1959 9" Model B. Most all of the parts have been cleaned and painted with exception
to some the small detail stuff. The spindle is beautiful.
I thought I would reach out to see if anyone made a re-insertion tool like the one pictured below in first photo.
I pulled the photo off an old thread and sent the member a message to see if I could borrow it. It is being used on a 10K.
I have my doubts that I will hear from him, but you just never know. I already have plenty of all thread, so I'm just after the "bell" shaped spacer.
Anyone have something like this they would loan me? I just don't think I have any stock that big in diameter to
make one, tho I will get some if need be to make my own. Of course, I will pay for shipping both ways.
Secondly, I had to replace the small 8-32 screws that hold the rack gear in place. Even with heat, 4 or 5
sheared clean away. So now I have a box of them (stainless steel flat heat) and they fit perfectly.
I also have plenty of the 5/16 low-profile bolts that go on the ends of the bed to hold the lead screw bearing (right)
and the QCGB (or bearing) on the far left. I also have the 3/8" bolts for the apron to saddle assembly.
These are Allen-head bolts, and I can send some of these if anyone is in need...and if you're not too particular about originality.
Just send me a PM and I can make it happen free of charge. (I also got some new taper pins, but not yet ready to cut loose
until I identify where they all go).
