Number of Pages: 40
This is a reproduction, not a photocopy, of an original South Bend 10L Lathe Parts Manual. This manual also covers the 10″, 13″, 14 1/2″, 16″ and the 16″x24″ lathes. This manual contains exploded view diagrams of all the parts for this lathe, and it includes the different bases.
Above are the types of gear box and lathes covered in this manual.
Please Note:
We have three different manuals that cover three different configurations and vintages of “Heavy” South Bend Lathes. Some of the manuals overlap on certain machines and parts, because South Bend didn’t change every machine and part at precise times, but I can help you match the appropriate manual with your machine. Below is an explanation of the three different manuals. If you have any questions about a manual, please let us know.

Overview:
I have collected this information for many years and have found the information they contain to be priceless in using and setting up the machines properly. I believe this manual will be a valuable resource of knowledge that will provide a lot of helpful information that is often hard to find. My manuals are not photocopies. I maintain a high standard of quality in my reproductions. Most of the manuals I reproduce look better than their originals. I have professionally digitally edited every page, and removed stains, wrinkles and handwriting. All of the manuals are printed on thick white paper to withstand shop wear and tear, which is better than a low resolution pdf download.
