My question is, how nard is it to adapt it to my Clausing 6913 lathe?
What is it missing, just the nose piece?


When you get the MT4.5 adaptor and a L00 nose protector you likely will get it to work.

Here is the problem. I'm using a home made drawbar set up and it works but there is no
place left for a micrometer stop for accurate turning to length.

I'd be better off with a nose mounted collet chuck if I had the money to buy a set up.
That would leave room on the bed for the micrometer stop.

I have a 6903 so we are talking about the same situation at the spindle end.
