my 9 " rebuild.

I think whoever had that lathe before you put special over-sized dials on the cross slides. You are going to like them a lot better than the dinky ones that come on a 9 inch usually. great job!
 
thanks guys for all the kind remarks I had a blast restoring this lathe. but it has caused one problem I have seem to caught some kind of bug I am buying up every old machine I find to restore them my wife thinks I just might have a problem lol. and now my mod C is a mod B

Nice work!!!!

Now I started my Heavy 10 I found a 9inch for sale near where I live.

But she looks more than ready to make some chips.!!!!

Let the addiction begin! It is fun though isn't it!?
 
Rustoleum Smoke Gray is a good choice - a classic for sure. Another SB lathe better than factory -- well done!
 
One thing that was good about me rebuilding my lathe first is I can make all the parts for my other restoration projects.
