Lever-action Collet Assembly. Available across the range of South Bend lathes this is a comparatively rare fitting on the smaller machines. The mounting details varied over the years, and according to the size of lathe, but the basic principle of operation remained the same. Of the South Bend clones makers, only Smart and Brown offered a similar accessory.

Collet Splash Guard
Designed to stop coolant and chips being flung into the operator's face as he attended closely to work held in a collet.

360 degree graduations on the cross slide
A post-WW2 offering  to overcome the disadvantage of having the graduations inscribed only on the top slide.

Swivelling Machine Handles.
These were only  available as a set when ordered with a new lathe and replaced those fitted to  the apron, cross-feed and tailstock.
A very rarely-encountered fitting.
