South bend 8 lathe manual5/3/2023 ![]() ![]() But it could also really hurt me as its my first lathe I was hoping to learn on but can't find parts or attachments for. I don't know how much of that is true? I think it would be cool if it was something special. I can't find any info on an 8" except one thread on a different forum said it's rare, made during the depression era, and the smallest lathe South Bend ever made. I was hoping to retrofit a quick change gear box, and find some extra parts/attachments/accessories for it. I can't figure out what this lathe is except for the obvious- it's stamped 8" swing, 36" bed. I'm hoping to learn how to machine and figured a small lathe would be an excellent learning tool. I just bought my first lathe off craigslist today. ![]()
