Power Feed question for Clausing 8520

I emailed them and asked them the same question and they replied that it was not a direct bolt on and I would have to mill my own machine to power feed interface. Hardly seemed worth three hundred bucks for just a part of the kit and having to make the rest. Be careful of the Clausing brand units they are apparently weak and easily strip gears and get damaged too easy. Hope this helps because I was doing the same thing for X and Y on my 8520 when it gets here from CT. The storm up north is gonna slow that down by a few extra days too so keep that in mind if you order anything that moves by truck...

Thanks for the info. I'd wrote them too, but haven't heard back yet.
I've heard that the Servo type 140 PF is pretty much a bolt on, but runs more than double the price.
 
In case you get to looking the Model 8525 is the power fed version of the 8520 from Clausing. You can look up the individual parts for the drives there if you have one from clausing and need the plastic gear they all seem to strip.

Bob I believe you might be misinformed the only difference between 8520 and 8525 is the spindle taper

8520 is MT2 and 8525 is B & S 7 the power feed was just and option from Clausing could be ordered on either model .

This is the way that I always understood it also.
 
And likewise with the later 8530/8535 (2MT/7B&S).
