If you are contemplating cleaning up that old South Bend sitting in your garage, this kit is what you will need to get the job done. For owners of the industrial 13" South Bends who need to disassemble and refurbish their machine, this aftermarket assortment of consumable gaskets, wicks, wipers and oil control felts will provide all that is required to help put your lathe back into its original condition when you go to reassemble it. These parts were designed to provide and retain adequate lubrication in critical parts of the lathe while at the same time acting as a trap for dirt, chips and sludge. They should be replaced at regular intervals as opposed to trying to clean and reuse the old ones. The capillary oil wicks we provide for the headstock are made from the highest grade tempered spring steel, CNC wound and stress relieved to provide long service life. The lower wicking material is long-strand virgin wool and the cap wick is high quality hard grey felt so you will not find a better quality replacement wick anywhere. The remaining apron wicks, gearbox wicks, wipers, and oil control plugs are all hard white felt, precision die cut for a consistent close fit on most all versions of the Southbend 13" lathe that were produced in large quantities from the late 1930's through the 1980’s.  Now you don’t have to buy a whole yard of felt to get what you need and then waste time trying to cut and custom fit the individual parts to your lathe. We’ve done all of the work for you. These kits are very reasonably priced compared to OEM or used parts so don’t miss out on a chance to pick up a complete kit for your lathe while they last. This kit is for the 13"only so if you have a 9" workshop lathe, a 10k or "light 10" or a 10L or "heavy 10" lathe , please see our other listings for those kits.  Email us if you have other questions, Thanks!
