South Bend 12" ?

intrepid · Dec 15, 2021

While searching for a 9-10" cabinet lathe I came across a lead where the seller states his cabinet lathe is a 12x36 and uses a 5C collett. It is on a cabined with 3 drawers on the right side and appears to be an under mount drive. I am waiting for additional information.
Did South Bend make a 12" under mount cabinet lathe?

The lathe in the picture is a South Bend 10k. It looks like late model - quite possibly a South Korean version. It will use 6k collets directly in the spindle. Maybe is has a 5c collet chuck with it?

I was thinking also it was a 10K. The only thing that threw me was the the riser on the the tailstock. It looked rather tall so I was thinking maybe there was a 12" model I wasn't aware of. Thanks, a 9or 10 is what I was looking for.

Too much misinformation. Are you sure you're not getting scammed?

looks like in the user's shop, that is good because he can give information...and you might try it.

I don't see the half-nut dial.

CL 370RDA or DB as of 1982 - swings 9 .94 over bed. See pub 8306

No way on the 5C without a collet chuck. Spindle bore is but .844"

Nice looking lathe - looks like a longer bed. I like the cabinet and the drawers. Let us know how it turns out.

I'm still working on buying this lathe. It's about 3 hours from me and although the owner does want to sell he slow at communicating. He did confirm the model is CL370 RD which makes it a 10" long bed. I'm hoping now I will be able to buy this lathe.

The First 12 inch lathes were manufactured for 6 years, from May of 1910 to November of 1916.

Interesting that there were actually 12" South Bend lathes. I'm always learning. I suspect they are rare to find for sale. However, it is actually bigger than what I would need. I'm hoping to hear from @johara1 about his 10k. He hasn't posted since mentioning maybe selling his lathe. I sent him a PM but have heard nothing. Hope he is okay.

intrepid · Jan 20, 2022

Well it appears I struck out with the original one I was hoping for and also johara1. He mentioned he may want to sell his but I have not been able to contact him. I think response to me was the first time he has been on the forum in about a year. I suppose he is busy with other matters. So anyway I am in the market for a 9A or 10k with cabinet and under drive. I'm in western Maryland but willing to do a days travel for the right lathe. Thanks all.
