New here ....
Long time stalker.
Picked up a SB CL187ZB machine with L-00 spindle.
Have everything I likely need except one thing ....
Have 2 5c collet closers/tubes of different types, but need the 5c adapter for the spindle.
Not sure if the taper is the same as other SB spindles.
Anyone point me in the right direction to purchase one? Maybe have such a bird?
Thank you kindly

Here is what you need.

Adapter, 5C Spindle Nose, for South Bend 10L Lathe – Lost Creek Machine, Inc.

You will also need a spindle nose protector. It looks like the nose part of a chuck or drive plate and can be made from a L00 drive plate by cutting of the face leaving the part on the nose. The purpose is to keep the locking ring from rattling but more important, a means of removing the collet adapter when you want to use a chuck.

Actually have that one saved. Just wasn't sure if for some reason the L-00 spindle was different. Thank you
