Clausing 8540 over head support & brace & Draw bar

If I could find a good factory used one I would just buy it .
But I have struck out every where I turned .
So here Goes . The draw bar will be first .
 
No problem you did good , took me months to figure how to get them to send , still have trouble doing it. Looks like a nice machine , wish one would fall in my lap. Well not really but I'd take if too.
That 304 stainless would be nice but tuff on the machining side.

I got started on my draw bar today
Finished one piece of it the Maine 16" x 1/2 - 4140HT
That stuff is tuff 29 - 30 on RC scale
I had to thread it with 1/2 HSS it worked it over .
I am working on the nuts now . All of my taps are to dull to cut that 4140 .
I am going to buy some new ones tomorrow
And finish both nuts one is a acorn nut.
One just has two flats cut on it .
