Looking for Info on Clausing lathe
I'm looking for information on a Clausing lathe I recently picked up
pretty cheap. It's my first and I need to learn how to use and maintain the thing properly. It's a model 5320. I haven't been able to locate any info on the 5300 series, so I'd also appreciate it if anyone knows if the 5400 or any other model is similar. I'd really love to locate a manual for the lathe, or if not, then one as close as I can get. I did try calling Clausing a few minutes ago but they were closed and their website says they don't have the stuff so I'm not holding out hope. I do already have the atlas book from the 30's and the south bend "how to run a lathe" but I'm not sure if everything carries over. Right now I'm trying to decide what kind of oil to put in the thing, then I need to figure out how to cut 10 tpi threads. Thanks for any help, Scott |
