South Bend Lathe Company
began producing world class lathes in 1908, quickly setting the world
benchmark for lathe design and manufacturing. Many of those lathes
are still in use today due to their superior design and manufacturing.
Over the years, South Bend has also produced many instructional books
and literature on using and operating lathes. This collection
includes much of their most popular early publications, as well as most
of their vintage lathe parts lists and vintage lathe catalogs and
brochures. If you have an old South Bend lathe and need to find
some information on it, this DVD is a great place to start. We
believe this is the largest collection ever assembled and hope you find
it useful. Here is a listing of all the books, guides, parts
lists, and catalogs that are included in this collection:
