We recently purchased a used Clausing 2277 for the shop, today half an
hour to quitting time, it blew a couple fuses in the control box...
Upon inspection, it looks like the bottom of the variable speed pulley
is rubbing the top of the spindle pulley.

Is this a case where the operator just cranked it up to 'fast plus' and
opened these pulleys too far, or is there supposed to be some sort of
shim or stop in there to keep these from touching? I can try to walk it
to a slower speed in the AM, without the motor running that will be
fun... Upon inspection, the top cover looks a little 'home made' this
thing may have been sold off for a reason...

Clausing doesn't seem to have downloadable manuals, we'll try to get one
in the AM, but any informed ideas would be very welcome.

Hope the fuses are reasonably cheap.

If you have the correct line voltage supplying the press, you should be able
to operate the full range of speeds. Do you have the proper length belt in
the pulleys? The belt length is directly related to spindle speed.

Also check the speed control linkage on the spindle pulley and the
spring/pulley assy. on the motor side.

I have a 1662 15" model, but I'm sure the concept is the same.

Good luck.
