Features, of South Bend Light Ten Lathes
Forty-Five Years of experience in designing' and building fine precislon lathes have gone into the development oI the new South. Bend Light Ten Lathe. It is a modern precision tool having the mosl recently developed improvements and refinements. The workmanship and materials used in its construction are the besl that can be obtained, and the highest standards 01 inspection are maintained thrcuqhout its manufacture.
Lathe Bed is rigidly constructed 01 a special grade of gray iron having thirty per cent steel, which produces a hard closegrained metal having unusual slIength and long wearing qualities. The time proved superior design of the bed, having three V·ways and one flat way, assures permanent precision aJignment of the headstock, tailstock, and carriage, practioally unaffected by weal,'. The bed ways are carelully precision finished the entire lenglhof the bed,
Back-Geared Heacistoch is hand-screped to the bed to assure precision alignment of the spindle with the bed ways. A wrenchless bull gear lock permits en.qaging and disengaging the back gears without the use of a wrench. The cone pulley and back gears are enclosed in a hinged cover which may be raised to permit easy shifting of the cone pulley belt to change spindle speeds. An improved spring latch reverse on the left and of the headstock permits changing the direction of power carriage feeds instantly.
Bearings for headstock spindle are replaceable bronze sleeve type, and are precision bored and burnished to a smoothness of ten microinches (.000010") * by the bearingixing process. The use 01 large sleeve bearings to carry the radial load prevents chatter marks 00 the work due to vibra:tions which might be set up by ball or roller bearings. Large oil reservoirs and an improved capillary oiling system provide iI.. complete film of clean hlter·ed oil which separates the rotating spiudle from the bearing. As long as sufficient oil is supplied to maintain an adequate oil film, there can be no metal to metal contact in this bea:ring, no wear and no friction other than the fluid friction of the lubricant. An efficient oil return system retains the oil so that only an occasional replenishing is required.
Headstock Spindle is made of a special. quality alloy spindle steel, with all bearing surfaces carburized, hardened, and ground. Journal bearing surfaces are superfinished to a smooth. ness ol five microinchea {.OOOO05")". Spindle has ball thrust bearing and lake-up nul for e1imina:ting end play.
SOUTH 'ElEND LATHE WORKS
Apron lor Model A and Model B Lathes (patented) is equipped with a worm. driven by a spline in the lead screw, and a friction clutch for operating the power cress- feeds and the power longitudinal leeds. The threads 01 the lead screw are not used lor the power lenqitudine] turning feeds. The plunger type feed chanqe knob on the front ollha apron has three positions; top for power longitudinal leeds; canter for a neutral poaiticn: and bottom for the power cross-feeds. An automatic safety in terlock prevents ecngaging h alf·l1 uts accidentally when the power tuxning or facing feeds are in operation, Apron. for Model C Lathe has power longitudinal leecia driven through the lead screw and hall-nuts, and hand operated cross-feed.
Compound Rest is graduated 180 degrees, swivels to <Uly <Ulgle, and has improved lockinq device with double binder. Compound Test screw and cross-feed screw have larqe mic:rometer collars graduated to read in thousandths 01 an inch. Dovetails are hand-scraped and have adjustable gibs. Tool POlLt is made of heat-treated steel.

SPEED
High spindle speeds are essentlal tor machining small diameters, drillinq, polishing, diamond tunung' and boring, finishing plastics, machining brass, aluminum, magnesium, and many other similar operations. Slow speeds are just as important lor cuttin,g screw threads, reaming, ma.ohining large diamelets, etc, The South Bend Light Ten La.the has been designed to perform equally well over an unusually mde range of spindle speeds. The improved closecoupled horizontal motor drive (patented) provides twelve spindle speeds rang· ing from 48 10 1435 r.p.m. (approximately). Direct belt drive to the spindle assures smooth. operation at high speeds. Slow speeds are driven throuqh powerful back gears.
ACCURACY
Buill by creftsmen who take pride in thelt work, the Light Ten Lathe is capable of machining to the enoting tolerances demanded in modern industry. The workmanship and materials entering into its construction are of a quality hard to equal in a,ny other lathe, Ieg'arilless of price, The bed ways are carefully precision finished to assure accurate aliqnmen,* ef the headstock, tailstock, and carriage. All dovetails are hand-scraped and flat hearing eurtaces are grolllld, lapped, or bend-scraped, Even the beating surfaces between the hed and leers are precision qIoUlld, just to make sure that no strain will be put on the bed when the leg bolts are tightened. Ea.ch lathe is critically tested under power, and must actually machine work to close tolerances before it can be approved for shipment from the factory.
ECONOMY
The Light Ten Lathe is aconomical to buy and to use. II is the lowest priced 10· Lathe in. our line and it can be fitted with chucks, tools, and attachments at reasonable prices. The wide range of speeds and feeds available permit machining all classes of work at the. correct speed and feed lor maximum efficiency. Power consumption is held '10 a minimum by the use oi a hactional horsepower motor and an effioient drive mechanism. The Light Ten Lathe is especially suited to small toolroom and manufacturing operations, which often cannot be economioally handled on the larger and more costly heavy duty lathes,
CONVENIENCE
Large diameter hendwheels, clear- cut easy reading graduations, and a convsnient ar.rangement of controla conltlhute to the ease ol operating the new Light Ten Lathe. This reduces operator fatigue, increases efficiency and prevents mistakes ee that maximum production call be maintained on either toolroom or manuiaoturinq operations. The quick change gear hox on. Model A and Toolroom Lathes makes threads or leeds instantly available.
SPINDLE BEARINGS
The weighl 01 a needle applied point lirst will easily b(eak through an oillilm, yet the same Iilm of oil between two optically flat surfaces will support almost an infinite load. To remove the "needle points," spindles for South Bend Light Ten Lathes are superlinished to a smoothness 01 hve nucrotnches, and bearing sleeves are burnished to ten nricroinches, epprcaohlnq a surface smoothness equal to that of an optical flat. Conditions within the bearings are auohfhat an almost unbreakable film of oil is maintained at all times. This provides erlrejllely rigid support fOI: tne spindle, and the absence of metal fo melal contact eliminates wear, reduces b:iction, and assures long, trouble-free service.
DURABILITY
The South Bend Light Ten Lathe is carefu1iy engineered to give years of satisfactory service. Large bearing surfaces and excellent facilities fOI oiling, reduce wear 10 a minimum. The time tesled prismatic V-way construction assures permanent pracision alignment of the headstock, tailstock, and carriage. The headslock spindle is of heat-treated alloy steel, Other important parts are made, oI similarly hiqh quality materials selected fat long service. Given the proper care, the South Bend Light Ten will! retain its accuracy indefinitely.
