Hello folks! This is just a post to introduce myself. Although I have been visiting for a while I just acquired a SB9A and I am certain to have a bunch of questions. Aside from working for abt 6 months as a gofer in a tool and die shop in my youth my knowledge is all self learned, trial and error and picking the brains of those who allow. My work is at a large maritime museum here in Ct. and any machine tool work that needs to be done falls to me. That's a good thing 'cause I'm always learning. Seems like lately I've been making a lot of gears for the old machinery we use and abuse. At work I can use 2 Hendey lathes (not sure of their sizes) and a 13?inch South Bend, a Bridgeport mill and a medieval surface grinder, all donations.
Anyhow my new little guy shows signs of minimal wear, I know that most recently it was used by a wooden ship modeler, and that was 20 years ago. Pretty basic with a milling attachment, bench mounted very clean.
Pics when I figure out how
Thanks for having me!
