An interesting sub-plot surrounding the early 9-inch lathes was a special type, the Series 20. The Model 5 (Type 405) and its development is covered in detail on these pages. The catalogue for November 1936 lists the 415 as the "New 1936 Workshop" - though even, at this date, it still retained a changewheel cover complete with the first type of (405) threading chart - but transposed from front to end face. However, even as the lathe developed, by as early as 1935 the makers were boasting of "Ten New Features" - though it has to be said that polishing the rims of the carriage and tailstock handwheels was allowed to account for two of them. Although a perfectly functional lathe, the first model did have some shortcomings that were fully addressed by the manufacturer through an interim model (listed as the 415), this being manufactured from around September 1935 until the 1938/9 and the introduction of a new range consisting of "A", "B" and "C" versions - the latter with changewheels and hand cross feed and very similar to the 415. More details of these very early 9-inch lathes, and their supporting literature, can be found here. The earliest mention of the lathe so far discovered comes in a January 1934 works pamphlet, this including examples of advertisements available for dealers to use in their local press - should you have an earlier mention of this publication, the writer would be very interested to know. This first model had virtually nothing in common with either of the earlier, cheaper South Bend lathes, the 8" and 9" Junior models, and was most commonly listed using the catalog number "405" - the "4" referring to a lathe intended to be driven by bench-mounted countershaft. Further details of the clones can be found here with some individual pages devoted to the various models as hyperlinks at the top of the clones' page.ĭesigned and first manufactured in 1933, the new lathe was not announced until January 1934 as the " Model 5", this having a single, basic specification of screwcutting by (20DP) changewheels and hand-cross feed. Four other mysterious examples are the NSTC (shown below), this apparently being an American-made example but about which nothing is known the (presumably) French-made UFP a version discovered in South Africa without any branding and sufficiently different to all the other clones to be recognised as a unique model and, most remarkable of all, a geared-head version of the South Bend 9-inch (also pictured below) - which may or may not be a "UFP" Incredibly, the lathe continued in production into the 21st century with an improved copy of the late Model 10K (from the 1950s) being built in China and sold by Grizzly. Versions of the lathe, though not really clones, were made in Taiwan, these being branded (possibly from one maker) as the Select 618, Fragram LHB 108 and David 400.

Another copies were the mysterious NSTC (probably American, but about which nothing is known) and the Brtish " Unitol ", a name more often found on a version the Heavy-10 and 13-inch - but perhaps these were South Bends just rebranded with the Unitol name cast into the iron cover that guarded the belt running from motor to countershaft. San Francisco (CBA), Industria Argentina.

In Brazil three copies were made, the Sanches Blanes, Joinville and Boffelli & Finazzi in France French UFP and, from Argentine, the S.R.L. If you have an Asbrinks, please do contact the writer. Only one Asbrinks has come to light - and that in Liverpool, England (could it have been smuggled off a Swedish ship…?). Park & Son, Engineers ,Melbourne ) the not-uncommon Swedish Storebro, Blomqvist and the much rarer Asbrinks from the city of Malmo. The success of the model, and its suitability as a general-purpose workshop lathe can gauged from the number of copies produced: English ones by Smart & Brown, Boxford and Ace the Australian Hercus, Sheraton, Purcell and Parkanson (the latter the brand name of Theo.
