Sometimes found carrying a label stating: Craftsman fabricado pars a Sear, Roebuck SA, the
Sanches Blanes version of the South Bend 9-inch was made in Brazil by "Industria de
Maquinas Ferramentas. Ribeiraopires SP Industria Brasileira". The lathe was made in the
usual South Bend configurations of A, B and C models with, respectively, a screwcutting
gearbox and power cross feed; changewheels and power cross feed and changewheels and
hand-powered cross feed. While early examples may have faithfully followed the original
South Bend design, later models of the 117 mm (4.6") centre height by 600 mm (23.6")
between-centres lathe had major modifications: the 3-step headstock pulley appears to have
been made exclusively as a V-belt type and the backgear assembly used expensive helical
gears - quieter and smoother running than the original type (and able to absorb greater loads)
with taper roller bearings used to help cope with the additional end thrust that this type of
installation usually generates. With a 50 Hz motor spindle speeds were: 75, 115, 190, 395,
620 and 990 rpm and with a 60 Hz unit: 90, 140, 230, 480, 750 and 1200 rpm. To help the
operator (and never found on any South Bend example), micrometer dials were fitted to the
tailstock spindle and the carriage handwheel (though unlike the Boxford copy and other
clones, Sanches Blanes appear not to have taken the opportunity of enlarging the dials on the
cross and top slide screws, these remaining at inadequate small diameter as used on South
Bend lathes from the 1930s). One major alteration concerns the apron on late-model
machines, this appearing to have been considerably beefed-up with the possibility that the
power-feed mechanism was also altered.
As standard the lathe was very well equipped and delivered to the first owner with 3 and 4-
jaw chucks, face and catch plates, fixed and travelling steadies, 4-way toolpost, thread-dial
indicator, carriage stop, No. 2 and No. 3 Morse-taper centres the necessary spanners and a
0.5 hp 1750 rpm motor and reversing switch. As the Sanches Blanes underwent a series of
small improvements, it shows that sales must have been good enough to encourage a
programme of development. If you have a Sanches Blanes machine tool of any type the
writer would be pleased to hear from you..

Catalogue picture of a Sanches Blanes Model C with

screwcutting by changewheels and hand cross feed. The bed feet
resemble those fitted to South bend lathes of the late 1940s and
early 1950s. The micrometer dials appear to be just slightly larger
than those of the parent machine.

Rather than a V belt running from a V pulley on the motor to a

narrow flat belt on the countershaft (as on the USA version) that on
the Sanches Blanes used two V pulleys.

A later "Model TMB230 " Sanches Blanes (in effect a Model A South bend)
with screwcutting gearbox and power cross feed. Although a standard South
Bend type swing-open changewheel guard was fitted the headstock belt was
guarded by a proper hinged cover. The tumble reverse lever used, like the
Boxford and some other clones, a quick-action, spring-loaded selector instead
of the slow-to-use South Bend original that required a bolt to be slackened and
retightened when the setting was changed.

The disposition of the indents holes shows this lathe to have a gearbox
set to cut inch-pitch threads. Note the capstan drive for the tailstock
barrel (a rare but useful fitting) and the oversize thread dial indicator. It
is not known if the graduated handle fitted to end of the leadscrew is
home-made or official accessory.

Model A Sanches Blanes with taper turning. This lathe exhibits

small detail differences to the models above showing that sales
must have been good enough to encourage a programme of
development.
