1941 South Bend 13″ Lathe Restoration – Part 16 – Assembling the Apron


A little out of order, the Apron was reassembled before the Quick Change Gearbox and the Headstock. It took me this long to get the video edited together. There’s a lot to this component. The Apron is the most complex part of this lathe, I think. A lot of moving parts, a lot of gears on different shafts, and all the felt wicks that have to be fished into different spots.
