1st post so forgive me if it’s in the wrong place. I just acquired what I believe to be a fine example of a SB Lathe. I’m very new to all this so cut me some slack if I don’t know all the lingo. A little background on me.. im a firefighter for 24 years. I did autobody,heavy collision,fabrication,welding, for 20 years. I also did high end woodworking for many years. I’ve always wanted to learn how to use a metal lathe so I found a beauty. I’m 53 years old and close to retirement...figure this might keep me busy.
From the number on the end of the bed, I believe this machine was built in 1917 and shipped to a school in Washington State. I was able to cross reference the numbers on some site I saw....if I’m correct. Hopefully here are some pictures.
