South Bend thread dial

[Wayne Bensinger]

Hi All, just putting the word out there, maybe somebody can help me out. I have been looking for 3 years now for a thread dial for a 9"South Bend lathe, circa 1952. If anybody out there has one that is will to part with it, it would be appreciated greatly. I don't do many threading jobs on the lathe, but it would come in very handy, thanks for your time.

I don't have a dial, but you may want to try posting over on this machinist's forum. Someone over there may be able to help.

Good find Keith.

I guess the "3 Simple Rules of Life" are true.

1. If it ain't on eBay, you don't need it.
2. If Google maps cant find it, don't go there.
3. If YouTube can't show you how to do it, you shouldn't be doing it anyway.
