CLAUSING 1300 13" x48" VARIABLE SPEED LATHE
Would this be a decent lathe for $1500 + shipping?
As you guys know I'm new to this and working on lathes in my machine shop class. (thanks for the tool grinding help.) Reno, Paul |

This sounds like a good buy! 11 5c collet will be useful. The draw bar is to close the collets. The spindle taper is D1-3 this is a common spindle type I think, that's good. The 4 way tool post will get you by until you want a qc tool post. What shape is the machine in? Any machine can be beat to crap by an idiot. The machine you describe sounds in description to be good but you should inspect it yourself. If you trust the seller... check it out any way. Leigh Knudson (I have butchered the spelling I fear) posted a definitive piece on how to buy a used lathe, I read it and took it to heart before I bought mine. I could not find a pointer to it, maybe some kind soul could help with that... Kent |
