My New 1963ish Clausing 5914

I've heard of twisting the knob to the slow position and securing it there overnight for the air to bleed out.

I think I will try that, I have already tried bleeding over and over, with no improvement. I will let you know if it works!

I may give that a try myself. Truthfully, I haven't used the Clausing lathe for anything short of some experimentation I did shortly after I first posted the photos. I bought it to do barrel work on and as a back-up to my Traytop in case I wasn't able to use it for various reasons. It mostly just sits there looking pretty.
