Change gear chart for Clausing 100 lathe

The lathe is a 1956 13x36 engine lathe. This has the single lever, 2 slots in the apron to select the feed mechanism The drive mechanism in the apron is loose. When I reach under there is significant play in the shuttle that connects to the power feed. If anyone has a similar lathe can they...

Looking at a mill for sale. Looks fairly rigid but much better suited to my space restrictions than a full size Bridgeport. Can anyone tell me more about it? Google is turning up nothing with those numbers but I found some that look similar but not sure if the same or not. Theres one guy ahead...

I just replaced my broken clutch handles on my 6913. One was broken and one had groves rubbed into it. I shopped everywhere(started at Clausing parts) however no luck buying one with the 5/8 x18 thread insert in the handle. I finally found a 1/2 x 13 threaded one at Reid Supply BTH-9 for $12.00...

Hello, I bought a 6913 Clausing 48" and was in the process of rebuilding and repainting the lathe. I bought a new lead screw, worm, some bushings. After I got it painted and started to reassemble it I noticed the carriage does not move along the ways when you set the shims and clamps and you...

So I bought this lathe about 3 weeks ago on OfferUp for $1,000 cash and did some research and emailed Clausings tech department asking if they had any info on it and received the email I attached come to find out it's a Clausing 100-2 sold to white star machinery in 1945 I've called White Star...

I kept calling this a brake in the POTD.. sorry. brain fart. I wanted a tool less lock. It originally came with a hex cap bolt. I created a new one with a tool less design, but it required an enormous amount of torque to pull the casting tight. A horrible desing. I always noticed in Utube videos...

I purchased a 1957 Clausing Colchester 13x36 gearhead lathe. My main concern was spindle runout and alignment. I thought that hardened ways would protect the ways.I did not pay enough attention to the head drive gears; bad on me for not checking everything out. The long and the short is there is...

In this thought exercise/potential reality, imagine that most everything else is absolutely the same like the drive train, the condition, the tooling, the price, etc...everything relevant is equal in this alternate reality and you're given the choice between a Clausing 4912 and a Logan 10...

I picked this up a couple of years ago. It had been owned by the Omaha Public School district, and they guy I bought it from acquired it at an auction from the school district. Overall it was indecent condition. Everything worked, and minimal scars from it's years with the students. I put a...

I recently got a Clausing 5914 12" lathe. It was unfortunately missing the micrometer carriage stop. I designed and have been working on a new one for it. Here are the photos of it in progress, I'm not quite done yet, but I will post finished photos when it's completed. Here is a link to the...

Im trying to figure out how old it is and where i might be able to find a new adjustment handle.

Just arrived in my garage is this lightly used Kondia FV1. Any owners on here with some helpful info on parts and spares would be greatly appreciated. My main concern at the moment is the auto quill feature. As you can see from the video , I'm not sure if I can't work it out or It's broken. I'm...

I've hit a roadblock on breaking down my Clausing 5914 QCGB. Can anyone advise what the proper steps are to complete the breakdown? My guess is to remove the nut on the main gear cluster and then drive it out in the direction of the bearing cover. Once that cluster is out the key is removed...

The short of it is that I purchased a lathe with a bent spindle (.0015" out). I was able to find a replacement spindle after removing the original to confirm the location of the bend. Any ideas on how to remove this precision bearing without damaging it? I was thinking of packing the...

Hi All- I'm new to the forum, although I've been reading posts here and there for years when I'm doing research for a project. I picked up the Clausing at an estate sale about a month ago, but all the tags had been removed except for the Timken bearing label, so it took me a a few hours to...

Should be picking up the mill and tooling in the morning. I'm looking forward to getting it cleaned up (and probably painted) and moved into my little shop. It's in pretty good shape, in a pro shop for many years (A few feet from a Hardinge HLV). Some TLC and I'll have a nice mill to go with my...

I just purchased a used Clausing Konia FV-1 knee mill from a local machine shop. It is very similar to a the Bridgeport mills I have seen so the functions are fairly apparent. I can find very little information about the machine and would like to know a bit more about it.

Looking for a good bed and matching saddle for a Clausing 4900. Need for the 24" center to center bed version. Also could use a good set of half nuts. robotwizard_att net to reply by email replace underscore with "@" and replace space with a "."

Picked up a nice dirty Clausing for $500. Thanks to all who helped with ID and advice. It was in a basement shop of a condemned house. Was being used for turning wood so it was covered in sawdust. Everything was there though. I think It's a markIII because of the cover latch, and feet but the...
