I’m in the process of moving a taper attachment from a 9” to a 10K South Bend. Since I’m certain that the taper bed height won’t be exactly the same as the last lathe, I’m planning on melting the babbitt out of the tie rod bracket and re-pouring it in place like what would be done with a new attachment. Does anyone know a good source of small quantities of babbitt I can use for this? The cheapest I’ve found so far is a babbitt paperweight on eBay for $20 shipped. Thanks!
