Back to th OPs question whether the CDCO (and many others) will fit onto the Clausing - the simple answer is ... no, but... one can be adapted relatively easy. As with many of the old machines the Clausing 8520 was cloned by the Chinese and is generically called the 6x26 (with R-8 spindle)) mill with several offerings of it (Grizz, WT, etc)
Some 10 yrs ago I had the WT version of it and adapted one of the Chinese PFs to it, scrounged up a couple old pics of when I did the install (I had a bunch more but can only find these. I remember just starting to mess around with some trial methods digging in the scrap box and pretty quickly had it mounted. Course this was back when I bought the PF for something like $175 instead of the $300 or so now...
