clausing-colchester info needed
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, --joel -- remove xxnospamxx to reach me. |

Is your lathe the rounder headstock model or the newer squarer one? Also, is it a two speed motor? Dixon |

Dixon 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. ---------------------------- Mr. P.V.'d formerly Droll Troll --j -- remove xxnospamxx to reach me. |

Clausing can probably supply a manual: http://www.clausing-industrial.com/service-redirect.htm I don't know about the Colchester models but they seem to price domestic manuals for $5-25. |

Hi Joel, Have a look on www.lathes.co.uk/colchester/ Regards. Rotty UK If it looks like the Mk 2 http://www.lathes.co.uk/colchester/page2.html Its got a two speed motor, operated by the horizontal lever with the ball on it, at the join between the headstock and gear box And it has a 3hp motor on it. Or at least..mine does Gunner "Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner |

Gunner thanks to lathes.co.uk! found the model that i have: http://www.lathes.co.uk/colchester/page18.html it's the model 8028 varispeed. on top of what's shown, it also has a brake, and a full coolant setup. I also happened to get one that someone put a really nice sony DRO on. disgustingly precise too: this particular DRO resolves down to .0001. now i just need to get the manuals... --j -- remove xxnospamxx to reach me. |
