Engine Lathe Restoration
Join me in the machine shop for the lathe restoration. This is an engine lathe (or metal lathe) that I inherited from my grandfather and it is a metal machine tool used for metal turning and thread cutting, among many other lathe uses. During this machine restoration I will be getting into a little bit of everything including the lathe chuck assembly, power feed mechanisms, tailstock alignment with a dial test indicator, and even lathe safety. And who knows, we might even make some metal chips on this fine piece of industrial machinery.

Thank you for sharing your videos!
I have the same make and model lathe. It’s the best machine I’ve ever owned, I had a 9″ South Bend for years but once this machine arrived it replaced everything..
Cheers
How cool! I love this lathe already but that is really encouraging to hear! I’ve used a few other lathes in my time and the only thing that has come close is a smaller Hardinge HLV. Which is really only meant for small parts anyway, Thanks for following along!
