Leadscrew Shear Pin Replacement

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.
