I have a circa. 1962 SBL 14 1/2" x 96" lathe and finally got it all cleaned up and running very well. I've been using it and getting familiar with it...
Something I have not been able to find is a definitive explanation or technical sheet on the thread dial.
I've seen details on even thread/ odd thread/ divisible by 4/ not divisible by 4...yada-yada...it's making me crazy.
Is there one publication on this lathe that describes the correct use of the dial for this lathe?
I would be forever in your debt!
