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.

Wes, I'm lost. My micrometer stop/2" travel indicator clamp to the
ways and work against the side of the apron. They don't interfere at
all with my homemade handwheel collet closer. Got a pic?

I'll post one tomorrow. I have the 4 jaw on atm with some work chucked.

I have to go in to work early tomorrow so I'm hitting the rack right after I eat dinner.

Do you have a picture of your setup? The email address is a real one. GMail must have
some awesome spam filters! I've recieved one piece of spam in a month. Of course it
might that be no one can get to me.
