Clausing metal lathe 14 x 48 metalworking machine tool
A CLAUSING METALWORKING LATHE. 14" MAX PART DIAMETER AND 48" MAX BETWEEN CENTERS. STORED IN MY GARAGE SINCE '02 WHEN MY GRANDFATHER PASSED AWAY. IT WAS HIS AND EVERYTHING WORKED FINE THEN. SINCE I PUT IT IN MY GARAGE IT HAS NOT BEEN USED AT ALL BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE 3 PHASE POWER. I TOOK THE PIC BEFORE I CLEANED IT BUT IT LOOKS MUCH BETTER NOW. I CAREFULLY CLEANED THE WAYS AND LUBED AND OILED EVERYTHING BEFORE MOVING ANYTHING. THE ONLY THING IT NEEDS IS THE CHIP TRAY NEEDS SCRAPED AND PAINTED. IT RUSTED JUST FROM THE HUMIDITY OVER THE YEARS. EVERY DIAL AND HANDLE MOVES FREELY. THE SADDLE FEELS SMOOTH THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE RANGE OF MOTION. I DON'T KNOW MUCH MORE ABOUT HOW TO OPERATE THIS LATHE. I CAN MANUALLY TURN THE CHUCK AND CAN SEE THE FEED SCREW TURNING AND IN TURN WHEN I ENGAGE THE SADDLE AND/OR CROSS SLIDE THEY MOVE. IT HAS A DORIAN QUICK CHANGE TOOL POST BUT NO TOOLS FOR IT. MY GRANDMOTHER SOLD ALL THE TOOLING WITH THE OTHER MACHINES BACK THEN.
