My milling machine is bigger than yours

[jpaull]

Just to be clear, "Static Converters" are not what Vanapplebomb, Brian, Modok and I are talking about. Nobody wants anything to do with those.

VFD's are what we are talking about. Newer, digital, lower price, great all around choice.

picked up another project on friday. it's not bigger. but it's older.

'37 southbend 9 (not a or b, just 9 from what I can tell. probably workshop not junior but....still figuring.) 3ft bed. so ~~19" between centers. the perfect size for the space I dont have for it.......

gotta build a bench (the one that came with it was just a random), sort out belts, etc. but it's complete. and came with a truck load of tools, and _almost_ cost less than my facing head....... hasn't been run since '01.

Nice! That will make me happy- lathes are some of my loves in life.

A southbound 9 was my first lathe, and I wish I had not sold it. Parts and tooling were cheap and everywhere, and it fit pretty neatly in between other stuff in my shop. Honestly, 95% of what I need a lathe for could be done on that, and the other 5% needs the monster I traded up to.
Get it sorted and you will love it.

It is missing the lead screw end bearing. Hopefully it was not removed because the lead screw is bent.
