The South Bend SB1114F is a heavy-duty 13" x 30" metal lathe built for precision turning, facing, threading, and general machining work. It combines a 5 HP motor with electronic variable speed control, giving you a smooth 100 to 3000 RPM range for handling a wide variety of materials and operations.
A factory-installed two-axis digital readout helps track carriage and cross slide position for more accurate, repeatable results. The hardened and precision-ground Meehanite cast-iron bed, enclosed universal gearbox, and dependable electrical controls make this machine well suited for serious shop use where rigidity and control matter.
Designed for machinists, fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and advanced metalworking professionals, this lathe offers a 13-1/4" swing over bed and 30" distance between centers in a compact floor-standing format. It also includes useful tooling such as 3-jaw and 4-jaw chucks, a faceplate, follow rest, steady rest, and dead centers to support a broad range of turning tasks.
