Whether you're producing small-diameter precision parts or larger diameter work, selecting the right lathe depends on swing capacity, bed length, motor horsepower, and spindle speed range. Pittsburgh Spray Equipment stocks benchtop models for space-constrained shops—including the compact Grizzly 4\" x 6\" Micro Metal Lathe—through mid-sized production lathes like the 18\" x 60\" South Bend Turn-Nado EVS with digital readout. Grizzly and Grizzly Industrial offer variable-speed benchtop lathes (8\" x 16\" through 12\" x 36\") with modern conveniences like two-axis DRO and milling head attachments, while South Bend delivers traditional heavy-duty construction. Each brand brings different trade-offs: Grizzly emphasizes affordability and feature-density; South Bend prioritizes longevity and rigidity.

A fully-loaded, high-precision lathe in a relatively small footprint.
The South Bend SB1049F Gearhead Lathe is driven by a fixed-speed 3 HP motor with convenient headstock levers to control the 8 spindle speeds between 80–2000 RPM.
The spindle has D1-5 camlocks with an MT#5 taper, 1.57" bore, and equipped with Japanese NSK or NTN bearings. The tailstocks have an MT#3 taper and 4.5" of quill travel.
A factory-installed Fagor two-axis digital readout displays the X- and Y-positioning of the carriage and cross slide.
The bed of the lathe is constructed with Meehanite® castings that are hardened and precision-ground in the traditional three V-way prismatic design.
Quality Allen-Bradley® electrical components and attention to detail provide dependable electrical control of the powered movements.
And finally, this lathe comes with a circulating coolant system.
The SB1049F is covered by a South Bend 2-year warranty covering parts and factory defects. Tooling and other lathe-related consumables are not covered by this warranty.
The SB1049F manual was written by our U.S.-based Technical Documentation Department and is packed with useful information.
Parts may be available online and shipped from the South Bend parts warehouse in Springfield, MO.
