About These Machines
Capabilities
These Milling Machines are built for daily,
non-stop use in a busy industrial setting, tool
room, or school shop. They are easy to set-up,
truly accurate, and built to give you long years
of service when properly cared for. These milling
machines support workpieces up to 750 lbs. and
are perfect for face milling, end milling, planing,
slot or keyway cutting, dovetailing, routing,
drilling, reaming, and boring to name a few. With
the movable ram and tilting head, all these tasks
can be performed on horizontal, vertical, and
angled surfaces. When equipped with additional
accessories, such as a rotary table or dividing
head, these milling machines can do even more.

Foreword
"Most boys should learn a trade in order that
they may become skilled workmen. The trained
workman is always in demand...When a boy has
learned a trade, becomes a skilled mechanic,
he has excellent equipment with which to begin
life's battle, but he need not stop there. George
Westinghouse, the Wright Brothers, Henry Ford,
and the Studebaker Brothers were mechanics,
and it was their mechanical training that
made their success possible." —Machine Shop
Equipment, 2nd Ed., 1920, by the O'Brien
Brothers, founders of South Bend Lathe.

The first South Bend milling machine debuted in
the 1950's. During that time, the milling machine
and the already well-established South Bend
lathes created the foundation of many tool rooms
and school shops across America and beyond her
borders. Many young men in those days came
of age on South Bend equipment, becoming
world-class machinists, mechanical engineers,
inventors, and manufacturing visionaries.

A lot has changed in the world since then. Those
same school shops have mostly been replaced
by computer labs. The technology in the rotary
dial phone, television set, mechanical calculator,
computer, and camera of that decade could
barely fit into one large room together—now
they fit into a tiny box that is no bigger than a
box of breath mints. And the average production
machinist spends more time at a computer than
at a machine. Technology has been much refined
and the world operates on a much faster pace.

But some things haven't changed. The same
human ingenuity and passion that created the
best mechanical technology of today still exists
within us. The core machines of the modern shop,
like this South Bend milling machine, are still
fundamentally important.

When you think about it, the greatest mechanical
technology of the future will be what we create
today. As the owner of a South Bend milling
machine, you are now part of a great legacy.

Features
These milling machines feature 3-axis table
movement with built-in longitudinal power feed.
They are constructed with high-grade Meehanite
castings, and the saddle and knee ways are
Turcite coated and built with wide dovetails for
maximum support and accuracy through the full
range of movement.

To ensure quality work results, we have
equipped these mills with NSK or NTN
spindle bearings that are rated to P4 (ABEC-
7) tolerances. The spindle tapers are R8 and
the spindles have powered down feed with fine,
medium, and coarse feed controls.

The headstocks are mounted on a wide-dovetail
movable ram with 13" of travel on the column
and 360° rotating capability. The headstocks
themselves can swivel 90° left/right or 45°
forward/back so they can be positioned for nearly
any setup needed.

To reduce the time spent doing daily lubrication,
we have outfitted these milling machines with a
one-shot lubrication system that is as quick and
easy as one pump of a lever.

And finally, each machine is designed to accept
a circulating coolant system with room for
the pump and reservoir in the column base.
Additional features include a movable work light,
and Allen Bradley electrical controls.
