About This Machine
Capabilities
This Milling Machine is built for any industrial
setting, tool room, or school shop and is built
for many years of service. Large workpieces
can be supported and is perfect for face milling,
end milling, planing, slot or keyway cutting,
dovetailing, routing, drilling, reaming, and
boring to name a few. With the movable ram and
tilting head, all these tasks can be performed on
horizontal, vertical, and angled surfaces.
Foreword
"Most boys should learn a trade in order that
they may become skilled workmen. The trained
workman is always in demand...When a boy has
learned a trade, becomes a skilled mechanic,
he has excellent equipment with which to begin
life's battle, but he need not stop there. George
Westinghouse, the Wright Brothers, Henry Ford,
and the Studebaker Brothers were mechanics,
and it was their mechanical training that
made their success possible." —Machine Shop
Equipment, 2nd Ed., 1920, by the O'Brien
Brothers, founders of South Bend Lathe.
The first South Bend milling machine debuted in
the 1950's. During that time, the milling machine
and the already well-established South Bend
lathes created the foundation of many tool rooms
and school shops across America and beyond
her borders. Many young people in those days
came of age on South Bend equipment, becoming
world-class machinists, mechanical engineers,
inventors, and manufacturing visionaries.
A lot has changed in the world since then. Those
same school shops have mostly been replaced
by computer labs. The technology in the rotary
dial phone, television set, mechanical calculator,
computer, and camera of that decade could
barely fit into one large room together—now
they fit into a tiny box that is no bigger than a
box of breath mints. And the average production
machinist spends more time at a computer than
at a machine. Technology has been much refined
and the world operates on a much faster pace.
But some things haven't changed. The same
human ingenuity and passion that created the
best mechanical technology of today still exists
within us. The core machines of the modern shop,
like this South Bend milling machine, are still
fundamentally important.
When you think about it, the greatest mechanical
technology of the future will be what we create
today. As the owner of a South Bend milling
machine, you are now part of a great legacy.
What will you create with yours?
Features
This CNC milling machine features 3-axis
table movement with built-in X-, Y-, and Z-axis
servo motors. It is constructed with high-grade
Meehanite castings, and the saddle and knee
ways are Turcite coated and built with wide
square ways for maximum support and accuracy
throughout the full range of movement.
To ensure quality work results, we have
equipped this mill with premium spindle
bearings that are rated to extreme tolerances.
The spindle taper is NT40 and has servo motor
downfeed with a variable feed rate between
0-0.98 FPM and spindle travel of 3.5".
The machine uses a Delta VFD-B inverter with
a 5HP induction motor to provide true variable
spindle speed from 50-5000 RPM.
The headstock is mounted on a wide dovetail
movable ram with 20" of travel on the column
and 320° rotating capability. The headstock itself
can swivel 90° left/right or 45° forward/back so it
can be positioned for nearly any setup needed.
To reduce the time spent doing daily lubrication,
this milling machine is outfitted with an
electronic lubrication system that automatically
lubricates the most critical areas.
A quality Fagor 8055i control panel with
excellent electrical components and attention to
detail give dependable CNC milling operations.
Last but not least, this milling machine includes
a circulating coolant system with the pump and
reservoir in the column base.

Model SB1063 SAFETY
Understanding Risks of Machinery
Operating all machinery and machining equipment can be dangerous or relatively safe depending
on how it is installed and maintained, and the operator's experience, common sense, risk awareness,
working conditions, and use of personal protective equipment (safety glasses, respirators, etc.).
The owner of this machinery or equipment is ultimately responsible for its safe use. This
responsibility includes proper installation in a safe environment, personnel training and usage
authorization, regular inspection and maintenance, manual availability and comprehension,
application of safety devices, integrity of cutting tools or accessories, and the usage of approved
personal protective equipment by all operators and bystanders.
The manufacturer of this machinery or equipment will not be held liable for injury or property
damage from negligence, improper training, machine modifications, or misuse. Failure to read,
understand, and follow the manual and safety labels may result in serious personal injury, including
amputation, broken bones, electrocution, or death.
The signals used in this manual to identify hazard levels are as follows:
Death or catastrophic
harm WILL occur.
Moderate injury or fire
MAY occur.
Death or catastrophic
harm COULD occur.
Machine or property
damage may occur.
Basic Machine Safety
Owner’s Manual: All machinery and machining
equipment presents serious injury hazards
to untrained users. To reduce the risk of
injury, anyone who uses THIS item MUST
read and understand this entire manual
before starting.
Personal Protective Equipment: Operating or
servicing this item may expose the user
to flying debris, dust, smoke, dangerous
chemicals, or loud noises. These hazards
can result in eye injury, blindness, long-
term respiratory damage, poisoning,
cancer, reproductive harm or hearing loss.
Reduce your risks from these hazards
by wearing approved eye protection,
respirator, gloves, or hearing protection.
Trained/Supervised Operators Only: Untrained
users can seriously injure themselves
or bystanders. Only allow trained and
properly supervised personnel to operate
this item. Make sure safe operation
instructions are clearly understood. If
electrically powered, use padlocks and
master switches, and remove start switch
keys to prevent unauthorized use or
accidental starting.
Guards/Covers: Accidental contact with
moving parts during operation may cause
severe entanglement, impact, cutting,
or crushing injuries. Reduce this risk by
keeping any included guards/covers/doors
installed, fully functional, and positioned
for maximum protection.

For Machines Mfd. Since 5/19 Model SB1063
-15-
SAFETY
Entanglement: Loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
jewelry or long hair may get caught in
moving parts, causing entanglement,
amputation, crushing, or strangulation.
Reduce this risk by removing/securing
these items so they cannot contact moving
parts.
Mental Alertness: Operating this item with
reduced mental alertness increases the
risk of accidental injury. Do not let a
temporary influence or distraction lead to a
permanent disability! Never operate when
under the influence of drugs/alcohol, when
tired, or otherwise distracted.
Safe Environment: Operating electrically
powered equipment in a wet environment
may result in electrocution; operating near
highly flammable materials may result in a
fire or explosion. Only operate this item in
a dry location that is free from flammable
materials.
Electrical Connection: With electically powered
equipment, improper connections to the
power source may result in electrocution
or fire. Always adhere to all electrical
requirements and applicable codes when
connecting to the power source. Have all
work inspected by a qualified electrician to
minimize risk.
Disconnect Power: Adjusting or servicing
electrically powered equipment while it
is connected to the power source greatly
increases the risk of injury from accidental
startup. Always disconnect power
BEFORE any service or adjustments,
including changing blades or other tooling.
Secure Workpiece/Tooling: Loose workpieces,
cutting tools, or rotating spindles can
become dangerous projectiles if not
secured or if they hit another object during
operation. Reduce the risk of this hazard
by verifying that all fastening devices are
properly secured and items attached to
spindles have enough clearance to safely
rotate.
Chuck Keys or Adjusting Tools: Tools used to
adjust spindles, chucks, or any moving/
rotating parts will become dangerous
projectiles if left in place when the machine
is started. Reduce this risk by developing
the habit of always removing these tools
immediately after using them.
Work Area: Clutter and dark shadows increase
the risks of accidental injury. Only operate
this item in a clean, non-glaring, and well-
lighted work area.
Properly Functioning Equipment: Poorly
maintained, damaged, or malfunctioning
equipment has higher risks of causing
serious personal injury compared to
those that are properly maintained.
To reduce this risk, always maintain
this item to the highest standards and
promptly repair/service a damaged or
malfunctioning component. Always follow
the maintenance instructions included in
this documentation.
Unattended Operation: Electrically powered
equipment that is left unattended while
running cannot be controlled and is
dangerous to bystanders. Always turn the
power OFF before walking away.
Health Hazards: Certain cutting fluids and
lubricants, or dust/smoke created when
cutting, may contain chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer,
respiratory problems, birth defects,
or other reproductive harm. Minimize
exposure to these chemicals by wearing
approved personal protective equipment
and operating in a well ventilated area.
Difficult Operations: Attempting difficult
operations with which you are unfamiliar
increases the risk of injury. If you
experience difficulties performing the
intended operation, STOP! Seek an
alternative method to accomplish the
same task, ask a qualified expert how the
operation should be performed, or contact
our Technical Support for assistance.

Model SB1063 SAFETY
Additional Milling Machine Safety
Understanding Controls: Make sure you
understand the function and proper use of all
controls before starting. This will help you
avoid making mistakes that result in serious
injury.
Avoiding Entanglement. DO NOT wear loose
clothing, gloves, or jewelry, and tie back long
hair. Keep all guards in place and secure.
Always allow spindle to stop on its own. DO
NOT stop spindle using your hand or any
other object.
Wear Face Shield. Always wear a face shield
in addition to safety glasses. This provides
more complete protection for your face than
safety glasses alone.
Use Correct Spindle Speed. Follow
recommended speeds and feeds for each size
and type of cutting tool. This helps avoid tool
breakage during operation and ensures best
cutting results.
Inspect Cutting Tool. Inspect cutting tools for
sharpness, chips, or cracks before each use.
Replace dull, chipped, or cracked cutting
tools immediately.
Properly Secure Cutter. Firmly secure cutting
tool or drill bit so it does not fly out of
spindle during operation.
Power Disruption. In the event of a local power
outage during operation, turn spindle switch
OFF to avoid a possible sudden startup once
power is restored.
Clean Machine Safely. Metal chips or shavings
can be razor sharp. DO NOT clear chips
by hand or compressed air that can force
chips farther into machine—use a brush or
vacuum instead. Never clear chips while

Properly Maintain Machine. Keep machine
in proper working condition to help ensure
that it functions safely and all guards and
other components work as intended. Perform
routine inspections and all necessary
maintenance. Never operate machine with
damaged or worn parts that can break or
result in unexpected movement during
operation.
Disconnect Power First. To reduce risk of
electrocution or injury from unexpected
start- up, make sure mill/drill is turned

moving parts have come to a complete stop
before changing cutting tools or starting
any inspection, adjustment, or maintenance
procedure.
Remove Chuck Key & Spindle Tools. Always
remove chuck key, drawbar wrench, and
other tools used on the spindle immediately
after use. This will prevent them from being
thrown by the spindle upon startup.
