Hello,
Does anyone know a source of South Bend oil fill caps, used or new? I need one for the carriage and one for the tailstock on a south bend 13" lathe (see pics). I've already checked the archives, LaBlonde and Grizzly with no sucess. Gary

standard GITS oil cup possibly? Percussive installation works well, make a rod to fit inside the cup, lift the lid, and tap 'er home.

Thanks! I'll give them a try. I alway forget about them because I don't have thier catalog. One of these days I need to break down and buy one of their catalogs off eBay, last I looked the 2010 catalog was selling for $40-50. Gary

If you order a McMaster catalog through your/a Company (shipped to with the company name/ Attn) they are usually free! If you order as an individual they charge you for it!
That has been my experience!

I agree, online is not quite the same as a real catalog...with Post It bookmarks...

Ted AKA SBLatheman has both of those, well original for the tailstock and one suitable to replace the apron one - I was buying some bits from him recently and both of those were on my large list of broken/missing oilers for my 13"!

In terms of the SB part no's 155X38 will plug into the apron pipe (my pipe was badly mauled and I used some superglue too) 155x23 is the one for the tailstock.
