I just picked up a VS-13 clausing colchester lathe.

looking for a lube chart, spec sheet, parts diagram, and a general
manual for one.

also, does anyone know what size motor is in one of these? I can't seem
to find a label on it and i need to find out to spec my phase
converter.

thanks,

I might have the info you need. Is your lathe the rounder headstock model
or
the newer squarer one? Also, is it a two speed motor?

it looks to be quite square. this model is a variable speed, 13" with
english and metric threading, so i don't know if the motor has two
speeds. i suspect it's a single speed.

I didn't know they made a variable speed. Maybe it *seems* like a VS cuz
the clutch on the squarehead is slipping!
Does it have sort of colored concentric levers on the front?
You can check f'sure by the serial number, proly stamped on the front side
of bed, near the end. A machinery dealer can then check it for you.

Clausing-corporate still exists, right? Could run it by them. Parts are a
real bitch $-wise.
