South bend 9 lathes were pretty regularly found in the model and maintenance shops of industry. It has a three-jaw chuck for boring a true center hole in round stock also for the removal of material from the diameter of stock. It will handle long stock of up to inch and a half through the headstock and will swing nine-inch stock on the face of the chuck. The chuck jaws are reversable It will cut threads; the lead screw is controlled by a set of interchangeable gears allowing all standard pitch threads to be cut. I see someone has created set of gears to cut metric threads if you must. Included are two tool posts one quick change and a standard lantern tool holder. I purchased the lathe about five years ago for $800 and have added accessories, tools and a proper power revising switch which are included. I have had fun with it but an impending move makes it too much to take with us. I would like $800. I see the same lath on eBay for as much as $1800 plus freight. The lathe is mounted on three thicknesses of plywood along with the motor and outboard pully. All of this on a heavy-duty table on sliders.
