This is a classic machine often used for production in days before Numeric
Controlled lathes.  South bend 9” lathes were pretty regularly found in the
model and maintenance shops of industry.

It has a three-jaw chuck for boring a true center hole in round stock also
for the removal of material from the diameter of stock.  It will handle long
stock of up to inch and a half through the headstock and will swing
nine-inch stock on the face of the chuck.  The chuck jaws are reversable 

 It will cut threads; the lead screw is controlled by a set of
interchangeable gears allowing all standard pitch threads to be cut.   I see
someone has created set of gears to cut metric threads if you must.

Included are two tool posts one quick change and a standard lantern tool
holder.

I purchased the lathe about five years ago for $800 and have added
accessories, tools and a proper power revising switch which are included. I
have had fun with it but an impending move makes it too much to take with
us.  I would like $800.  I see the same lath on eBay for as much as $1800
plus freight.

The lathe is mounted on three thicknesses of ½” plywood along with the motor
and outboard pully.  All of this on a heavy-duty table on sliders.
