a couple weeks ago i posted for opinions on a smithy or shoptask 3 in 1 machine.i decided to purchase seperate,used american machines.i have aquired a south bend,model 10-L,toolroom lathe.it is completely tooled,and also came with a s-b stand full of tooling.the feed screw is in exelent condition with no sings of use,and handles have very little backlash.also has quickchange tool holder and taper attachment.the mill i got is a brown-sharpe #2.it has powerfeed on all 3 axis,and table can be rotated to any angle.the milling head can also be converted for horizontal use.it came with many cutters,cullets,drillbits,extra new motor,and a whole bunch of stuff i dont know what it is.also has a 4 and 6 in kurt vise and keyed v-blocks.i purchaced these from an old machinist that assured me they will do anything i want to do on a garden tractor.i guess now im looking for tips on usage and care for these.i would also like a manual for the mill,i cant seem to find one on the net.thanks guys you all were a big help.

10-4 get the southbend books from Lindsays and any other machinist books you can afford as time goes along. You got much better machines than those all in one china made things. If you are going to do small or hobby work or just want to learn more tips subscribe to Home Shop Machinist magazine too.

Check Lindsay publications for manuals and how to books.
They have reprints of the South Bend manuals

"and a bunch of stuff I don't know what it is"--post pictures and there's bound to be someone on here that can help identify it. Sounds like you did the right thing--while any lathe or mill is better than no lathe or mill, both of the units you got are common, well-built machines that should give you many years of service. There's something about turning a hunk of scrap into a useful part that's immensely satisfying, though I'll warn you you'll find out you have lots of new friends once word gets out you have a mill and lathe! Another good source for tooling is Enco--competitive prices, fast shipping and knowledgeable help.

if you need tooling and such try these guys, pretty reasonable for bits, mills and accessories.

if you have a local community college or vocational training school or career center nearby, see if they offer machine shop classes. great way to learn stuff.

Sounds like you really found a good set-up. All that tooling is ususlly worth more than the machines. Hard to find complete packages.

You have a LOT more potential with those two machines as opposed to the "all in one" variety. I'll second the comments by Shawnspeed3 on the lathe book and sites. If you want general information about lathe and mill operation, "Modern Metalworking" by Walker (Goodheart Wilcox pub.) has great illustrations and text. When I taught basic machining to 9th graders, we used that text.

Congrats!!! sounds like you found some good machines, you can do a google search for lindsays books and you will find they have southbends "how to run a lathe" and several other beginning ,and above books on macining with a lathe or mill. I would also recomend you visit the home shop machinist web site , along with the practical machinist website ,and you will find ansewers to a -lot of your questions....Good luck Shawn
