South Bend Lathe Maintenance Pamphlets
by South Bend Lathe reprinted by Lindsay Publications Inc

Here in a single cover you get three short booklets that will teach you how to maintain your lathe, and, of course, it MUST be a South Bend Lathe. After all, these techniques will not work on any other type of lathe. (If you believe that last comment, you must be exceptionally gullible!) What you get here is basic maintenance applicable to any lathe.
Bulletin H-1 is entitled "Keep Your Lathe Clean". In 16 pages you'll learn the importance of cleaning, don't let chips pile up, use a brush, wipe with a cloth, periodic inspection, cleaning spindle nose threads, cleaning spindle tapers, compound rest and tool post assembly, and more.

Bulletin H-2 will show you in twenty pages how to correctly oil the lathe. You'll learn the functions of lubricants, using the correct oil grade, making oiling a habit, headstock lubrication, lubrications of superfinished spindles, quick change gear mechanism, carriage and lathe bed, tailstock, and motor and drive.

Bulletin H-3 will show you how to install and level a lathe to get maximum accuracy. In twenty pages you'll learn why correct installation is important, how to unpack a new lathe (how many of us are that lucky???), why lighting is important, the amount of floor space required, the quality of the floor, securing to the floor, leveling turret lathes, bench lathes, using a precision level, longitudinal leveling, transverse leveling and more.

Bulletin H-4, "Keeping Your Lathe in Trim", is available separately from us. And if you already have it, you know what this is about: straight-to-the-point advice with wall-to-wall illustrations.

So you have a lathe? Take care of it. South Bend Lathe will show you how. And, no, it does NOT have to be a South Bend machine. All lathes need some tender loving care if you want them to provide years of pleasurable service. Get a copy of this! 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 softcover 60 pages
