  • You shouldn't have to use a tailstock with that short of a piece.

  • I have the same lathes in my school! I hate them, they are beat to shit, stupid freshmen don't know how to use them.

  • If you read the description you'll see "navy" and "school", both of which implies ultra conservative safety requirements. Put them both together and this is what you get. Sending this guy to a school is an investment, so if the student wrecks himself on the machine then the navy just lost its investment not just for a lathe operator but for whatever other job he was doing

  • there is no reson to use the tale stock in this case as far as i can see.

  • Is he friction driving the part? Maybe that's why he using the tailstock.

  • nice old south bend. my dad has one he bought brand new back in the 70's almost exactly like this one. i have used it on more than one occasion and it is the nicest working lathe i have ever used.

  • @AndrewandKevin , this lathe is an excellent machine; it was manufactured by South Bend, in USA 50 or 60 years ago in the golden era. There isn't comparison between chinese lathes and this one.

  • What company makes this lathe and what model is it? It looks way different than any of the ones I've used

  • Thats just aluminum. get rid of the center and turn it up!!!
