The leadscrew is secured to a connecting collar
that is part of the headstock drivetrain with
the use of a soft-metal shear pin. The shear pin
is designed to break and disengage the power
transfer to the leadscrew to help protect more
expensive lathe components in the case of a
carriage crash or the lathe is overloaded.
Contact South Bend to order a replacement shear
pin (Part Number PSB10160927) or use the
specifications in Figure 127 to fabricate your
own.

3. Rotate the shroud washer on the leadscrew
(see Figure 129) so that the cutout lines up
with the shear pin head.
If you fabricate your own shear pin, make sure
to use the material and dimensions specified
in Figure 127. Otherwise, the shear pin may
not provide the intended protection and lathe
damage could result.
To replace the shear pin:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Clean debris and grime from the shear pin
area (see Figure 128).
