I need some help looking for a reasonably detailed diagram of the electrical for this Lathe
more than willing to pay for this document, I have contacted South Bend.com Grizzly.com with no avail.
I'm getting a manual from grizzly but they had stated it does not have any electrical diagram in it.

anyone's help would be greatly appreciative
thank you in advance Mr. Dahms

Generally, lathes were set up to customer specs at the factory, or even at a distributor.

This is probably the best it gets:

That model is a special 1308 built for the military.
I have an original manual for that machine that includes a wiring diagram for sale.
Send me an email if you are interested.

Steve:
I do have a question that may be able help me with,
my taper attachment is missing a part.
At the end of the rod there is an attachment (A Block) that clamps on to back side of the rail which allows it to actually operate.
If you would have any pictures that you would be willing to share that would be fantastic
in the manual I got from Ted, it's a cross-section DD with part number's
62,61,60,59,58,56,55,54,and 57
thank you in advance

You are correct, there is no wiring diagram available, but it is pretty simple. When I got mine many years ago, it had fallen off a forklift landing on its front face and then on its head completely crushing that box with all the switches. I spent a lot of time with miniature hydraulic jacks and a small porta-power jacking it back straight and replacing all the broken switches and lamps. I also have travel limit switches for the carriage on mine. All of these things are powered by a 24V ac control transformer in the electrical box on the back side of the head stock. These are simple series interlock circuits. Remember if you use a meter to trace this voltage the transformer return is not connected to ground or to the frame, so the voltmeter must be attached to the transformer end. Please note that the relay coils are also 24V.

You will note the photographed bed clamp is totally adjustable in both length and angle as well as the attachment rod is articulated. This removes all stresses to the TA to prevent any binding. it is kind of unique.

You might want to level your lathe and your room. Just sayin.

Taildragger:
it made you look!
thanks

steve-l · Apr 17, 2020

Wow, that's a lot cleaner than mine! By the way, this lathe is leveled by adding or removing shims between the bed casting and cabinet. To facilitate that, I drilled and tapped holes in the bed feet for jacking screws. When the bed is measured straight, you just measure the generated space with feeler gauges then build shim packs to match. The jacking screws make the job very easy.

Mr. Dahms · Apr 17, 2020

Steve:
