South Bend 9" model 405 Lathe - Refurb / Restoration / Upgrade

[tonyfoale]

Hey Tony,

Coincidentally, I'm the process of restoring/setting up that same Asian 12x36 lathe. Where do you find parts for yours?

Tyler,

I haven't needed parts, but I guess that a Jet distributor could get anything necessary. Lathe parts don't change much over time. On the other hand there is much that couldn't be made at home.

Also, I'm a bit out of the loop now but, I was club level road racer and subscriber to RRW&MT for many years and always enjoyed your articles. At least the parts I could understand....

Oh dear, I always try to make articles understandable, I obviously failed.
