Description

Replacement Gib Adjustment Screws for South Bend Lathes
9" Models A B&C plus Model 10k and all 7" Shapers
By ILION Industrial Services, LLC
Please note that these screws are all new original stock and they are sold as a set only. The price listed above is for a complete set of 10 (TEN) adjustment screws. The lathe compoud and cross slide shown in the photos above are for demonstration purposes only and they are not included.  If you are rebuilding your lathe, please take a moment to look through our other listings for a completely illustrated manual on how to rebuild your lathe and drive train.
If the old slotted gib adjustment screws on your South Bend Lathe look like the bunged-up or broken screw in the photo above you are in luck.  We now offer a complete set of 10 replacement fasteners for your convenience. The cross slide uses 5 adjustment screws and the compound uses 4 screws to control the linear motion of those coponents and it keeps the action nice an snug so that that there is no vibration or play in the feeds during turning.  On older lathes, these screws are typcially damaged or broken over time as they were usually made of unhardened plain steel and the slotted head is easily broken if it is overtightened.   A set of 10 will allow you to replace all of the fasteners and have one spare left over to keep in the drawer for future use.  South Bend Lathe used an unusual size screw for this application (12-28 thread x 3/4" long with a slotted head and a flat point) so these are virtually impossible to find anywhere now days.  (We know this because we have been looking for some time).  Luckily we have located a limited supply of these new "old stock" fasteners and are making them available to Southbend Lathe owners.  This size was fairly universal after about 1939 but please check the thread size on your lathe prior to ordering.  The screws are made to fit the 9" model A,B or C , the Model 10k and will actually work on the compound & clapper on the South Bend 7" Shaper. They cross reference to the original South Bend OEM part number 122x444.
