Summarythis is a replacement part for a South bend lathe model 9C that I just received, this part was missing so made a replacement out of ABS PLA may be stronger. I made it in 2 halves and glued them together with ABS juice. I will have other pieces for this same lathe, change gears, cross slide nut, top slide handle, Plus whatever I need to replace because it is missing or worn out. My lathe was made between 1937 and 1940.
