Thanks! Likely to not be found, because even Clausing shipped
the lathe with an adaptor down to some standard smaller taper. They
used MT 4.5 because it was a good fit for a spindle for 5C collets.
MT-4 is too small, MT-5 is too large (need bigger bearings and more meat
in the nose adaptor -- and bigger chuck backplates. This one had to fit
in a L-00 nosepiece.

Clausing 5900 series lathes came with a MT 4.5 to MT4 adapter, a heavy
tapered ring, and people parting 5900 lathes out may have these adapter
rings for sale.

I made my own -- to MT-3 and MT-2. But a factory one to MT-4
would be nice to have.

Thanks,
DoN.
