My Lil' Mule

The last major piece of the 1960 South Bend 13″ lathe is to disassemble the quick change gearbox. The South Bend Quick Change Gearbox is not an overly complex piece of the lathe. The QCGB on my 1942 lathe was much harder to take apart, AND put back together.

I disassemble the apron of the 1960 South Bend 13″ lathe in this video. Only a couple sticky points, but mostly went according to plan.

I’ve seen a few decent micrometer stands, both commercially and shop made, but none of them were really what I wanted in one. Having a stand to hold the micrometer while taking a measurement of a telescoping snap gage will make machine work much easier and convenient. So I took some inspiration from a few others and designed my own. In this video, I finish machining the jaws and make the vise screw and knob.
