I have GOT to see a doctor about my iron deficiency - NOT.
Might be the camera angle but, that switch sure looks like it’s mounted in a terrible spot!I have GOT to see a doctor about my iron deficiency - NOT.
I've always wondered about that issue on some of the older SB lathes!Might be the camera angle but, that switch sure looks like it’s mounted in a terrible spot!
It's in a horrible spot. A lot of the old SBLs were configured that way. On my current 13, I moved it to just left of the cone pulley.Might be the camera angle but, that switch sure looks like it’s mounted in a terrible spot!
I also use to think like that, until I added a Hybrid VFD & a digital tachometer to my old 17" Delta DP-600 drill press.I have an aversion to putting a VFD on a vintage piece of machinery that doesn't need it. LOL!
Years ago, when I first started working in a small machine shop, I ran a Bridgeport with just the hand crank dials.I've even resisted putting a DRO on any of them up to this point. Although if I keep this newer lathe, and the ways bear out to have minimum wear, I might consider a DRO.
