For Machines Mfg. Since 5/11 13" Heavy 13® Gearhead Lathe
INTRODUCTION
About This Machine
Foreword
"The screw cutting engine lathe is the oldest and most important of machine tools and from it all other machine tools have been developed. It was the lathe that made possible the building of the steamboat, the locomotive, the electric motor, the automobile and all kinds of machinery used in industry. Without the lathe our great industrial progress of the last century would have been impossible." —How To Run a Lathe, 15th
Edition, South Bend Lathe.
The lathe represented in this manual is a modern day version of the screw cutting lathes that trace their roots back to the 1700's, which were themselves technological improvements of the bow lathe that can be traced back thousands of years to the ancient Egyptians.
Now, almost 300 years later, these modern "screw cutting" lathes are not just a piece of refined machinery, but a culmination of human ingenuity and knowledge embodied into the design and synergy of thousands of interworking parts—some of which represent the life's work and dreams of many inventors, mechanical engineers, and world-class machinists—including the likes of Leonardo da Vinci, Henry Maudsley, and the founders of South Bend Lathe, John and Miles O'Brien.
And now the torch is passed to you—to take the oldest and most important type of machine tool—and carry on the tradition. As the operator of a South Bend Lathe, you now join the ranks of some very famous and important customers, such as Henry Ford, who used the machines he purchased to help him change the world.
Features
These Heavy 13® Gearhead Lathes are packed with standard features and equipment, such as a complete coolant system, easy-to-clean chip drawer, one-shot way lubrication system, included steady and follow rests, chuck guard, adjustable work lamp, foot brake, powered cross feed, 3- and 4-jaw chucks, faceplate, and premium Allen-Bradley contactors, thermal relays, and fuse system.
Spindle speeds are controlled by convenient headstock levers, which allow the operator to quickly set the spindle speed within the available range of 80–2000 RPM.
The beds of these lathes are constructed with Meehanite castings that are hardened and precision-ground in the traditional three V-way prismatic design—long used on South Bend Lathes for its accuracy, durability, and rigidity.
The headstocks feature quick-change gear levers and the carriages include an adjustable clutch that disables automatic carriage feed when it contacts the included feed stop or in the event of a crash.
To further ensure a high degree of accuracy, these lathes are equipped with Japanese spindle bearings. The spindles are D1-5 camlock with an MT#5 taper and 1.57" bore. The tailstocks have an MT#3 taper and 4.5" of quill travel.
Capabilities
This Heavy 13® Gearhead Lathe is built for daily use in a busy industrial setting. Loaded with many nice features and high-precision parts, this lathe excels at making fine tools, dies, thread gauges, jigs, and precision test gauges—however, it is by no means delicate. Thick castings, heavy weight, and quality construction throughout provide the necessary brawn for demanding production and manufacturing tasks.

Safety Foot Brake
This lathe is equipped with a foot brake (see Figure 8) to quickly stop the spindle instead of allowing the spindle to coast to a stop on its own. Pushing the foot brake while the spindle is ON cuts power to the motor and stops the spindle.
After the foot brake is used, the spindle lever must be returned to the OFF (middle) position to reset the spindle switches before re-starting spindle rotation.

SAFETY
Additional Metal Lathe Safety
For Machines Mfg. Since 5/11
Speed Rates. Operating the lathe at the wrong
speed can cause nearby parts to break or the workpiece to come loose, which will result in dangerous projectiles that could cause severe impact injuries. Large or non-concentric workpieces must be turned at slow speeds. Always use the appropriate feed and speed rates.
Chuck Key Safety. A chuck key left in the chuck
can become a deadly projectile when the spindle is started. Always remove the chuck key after using it. Develop a habit of not taking your hand off of a chuck key unless it is away from the machine.
Safe Clearances. Workpieces that crash into
other components on the lathe may throw dangerous projectiles in all directions, leading to impact injury and damaged equipment. Before starting the spindle, make sure the workpiece has adequate clearance by hand-rotating it through its entire range of motion. Also, check the tool and tool post clearance, chuck clearance, and saddle clearance.
Clearing Chips. Metal chips can easily cut bare
skin—even through a piece of cloth. Avoid clearing chips by hand or with a rag.Use a brush or vacuum to clear metal chips.
Stopping Spindle by Hand. Stopping the spindle
by putting your hand on the workpiece or chuck creates an extreme risk of entanglement, impact, crushing, friction, or cutting hazards. Never attempt to slow or stop the lathe spindle with your hand. Allow the spindle to come to a stop on its own or use the brake.
Crashes. Aggressively driving the cutting tool
or other lathe components into the chuck may cause an explosion of metal fragments, which can result in severe impact injuries and major damage to the lathe. Reduce this risk by releasing automatic feeds after use, not leaving lathe unattended during operation, and checking clearances before starting the lathe. Make sure no part of the tool, tool holder, compound rest, cross slide, or carriage will contact the chuck during operation.
Long Stock Safety. Long stock can whip violently
if not properly supported, causing serious impact injury and damage to the lathe. Reduce this risk by supporting any stock that extends from the chuck/headstock more than three times its own diameter. Always turn long stock at slow speeds.
Securing Workpiece. An improperly secured
workpiece can fly off the lathe spindle with deadly force, which can result in a severe impact injury. Make sure the workpiece is properly secured in the chuck or faceplate before starting the lathe.
Chucks. Chucks are very heavy and difficult to
grasp, which can lead to crushed fingers or hands if mishandled. Get assistance when handling chucks to reduce this risk. Protect your hands and the precision-ground ways by using a chuck cradle or piece of plywood over the ways of the lathe when servicing chucks. Use lifting devices when necessary.
Coolant Safety. Coolant is a very poisonous
biohazard that can cause personal injury from skin contact alone, especially when it gets old or has been well-used. Incorrectly positioned coolant nozzles can splash on the operator or the floor, resulting in skin exposure or a slipping hazard. To decrease your risk, change coolant regularly and position the nozzle where it will not splash or end up on the floor.
Tool Selection. Cutting with an incorrect or
dull tool increases the risk of accidental injury due to the extra force required for the operation, which increases the risk of breaking or dislodging components that can cause small shards of metal to become dangerous projectiles. Always select the right cutter for the job and make sure it is sharp. Using a correct, sharp tool decreases strain and provides a better finish.

SAFETY
Additional Chuck Safety
Entanglement. Entanglement with a rotating
chuck can lead to death, amputation, broken bones, or other serious injury. Never attempt to slow or stop the lathe chuck by hand, and always roll up long sleeves, tie back long hair, and remove any jewelry or loose apparel BEFORE operating.
Chuck Speed Rating. Excessive spindle speeds
greatly increase the risk of the workpiece or chuck being thrown from the machine with deadly force. Never use spindle speeds faster than the chuck RPM rating or the safe limits of your workpiece.
Using Correct Equipment. Many workpieces can
only be safely turned in a lathe if additional support equipment, such as a tailstock or steady rest, is used. If the operation is too hazardous to be completed with the lathe or existing equipment, the operator must have enough experience to know when to use a different machine or find a safer way. If you do not have this experience, seek additional training (outside of this manual) from experienced lathe operators, books, or formal classes
Trained Operators Only. Using a chuck
incorrectly can result in workpieces coming loose at high speeds and striking the operator or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of this hazard, read and understand this document and seek additional training from an experienced chuck user before using a chuck.
Chuck Capacity. Avoid exceeding the capacity
of the chuck by clamping an oversized workpiece. If the workpiece is too large to safely clamp with the chuck, use a faceplate or a larger chuck if possible. Otherwise, the workpiece could be thrown from the lathe during operation, resulting in serious impact injury or death.
Clamping Force. Inadequate clamping force
can lead to the workpiece being thrown from the chuck and striking the operator or bystanders. Maximum clamping force is achieved when the chuck is properly maintained and lubricated, all jaws are fully engaged with the workpiece, and the maximum chuck clamping diameter is not exceeded.
Proper Maintenance.
maintained and lubricated to achieve maximum clamping force and withstand the rigors of centrifugal force. To reduce the risk of a thrown workpiece, follow all maintenance intervals and instructions in this document.
Disconnect Power. Serious entanglement or
impact injuries could occur if the lathe is started while you are adjusting, servicing, or installing the chuck. Always disconnect the lathe from power before performing these procedures.
All chucks must be properly

PREPARATION
This machine must be grounded! In the event of certain types of malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current in order to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord is necessary, do not connect the equipment­grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with an electrician or qualified service personnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the machine is properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.
For Machines Mfg. Since 5/11
Extension CordsGrounding Requirements
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. If you must use an extension cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size get smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a ground wire, match the required plug and receptacle, and meet the following requirements:
Minimum Gauge Size ...............................12 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) ........... 50 ft.

immediately lower the lathe and resolve the issue before attempting to lift it again.
For accurate turning results and to prevent warping the cast iron bed and ways, the lathe bedways MUST be leveled from side-to-side and from front-to-back on both ends.
Re-check the bedways 24 hours after installation, two weeks after that, and then annually to make sure they remain level.
Leveling machinery helps precision components, such as bedways, remain straight and flat during the lifespan of the machine. Components on a machine that is not level may slowly twist due to the dynamic loads placed on the machine during operation.
For best results, use a precision level that is at least 12" long and sensitive enough to show a distinct movement when a 0.003" shim (approximately the thickness of one sheet of standard newspaper) is placed under one end of the level.

pallet, carefully remove the pallet, then lower the lathe into position.
See the figure below for an example of a high precision level.

PREPARATION
To level the machine, use a precision level to make sure the bedways are level from side-to­side and from front-to-back.
— If using the included leveling pads (see
Figure 17), place them under the six leveling jack bolt locations, then adjust the bolts to level the lathe.

— If using mounting hardware that does not
allow for adjustment, level the lathe by placing metal shims between the lathe base and the floor before bolting it down.

Assembly
With the exception of the handwheel handles, the lathe is shipped fully assembled.
To install the handwheel handles, thread the large handle into the carriage handwheel and the small handle into the cross slide handwheel, as shown in Figure 19.

Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag screws and anchors, or anchor studs (below), are two popular methods for bolting machinery to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the many options and methods for mounting your machine and choose the best one for your specific application.

Most electrical codes require that machines connected to the power source by fixed conduit MUST be secured to the floor.
Lubricating Lathe
GEARBOXES MUST
BE FILLED WITH OIL!
OIL MAY NOT BE
SHIPPED WITH MACHINE!
Refer to Lubrication Section
for Correct Oil Type.
The headstock, quick-change gearbox, and apron oil reservoirs must have the proper amount of oil in them before the lathe can be operated for the first time.
Damage caused to the bearings and gears from running the lathe without oil in the reservoirs will not be covered under warranty. Refer to the Lubrication section, beginning on Page 66, for details on how to check, add oil, and prime the headstock oil pump.
