Endless lathe chips (re-adjusted the clutch on a Clausing 6913lathe)
I finally got around and re-adjusted the clutch on the Clausing 6913
lathe. (13x48). The clutch was previously slipping and I could only make the lightest of cuts. Now, the clutch no longer slips when engaged, and can still be disengaged, and I can take much heavier cuts. And what I like the most is that I can again use power feed. The problem I had with one piece of metal, is that when I cut it with power feed and a carbide insert, it would make an endless chip, that warps and gets everywhere, and it seems to be unsafe. How can I ensure that this chip breaks? i |
