I am looking for a clausing 6913 reducer sleeve. I would like to run shafts between centers without the chuck.
I really enjoy the forum, lot's of great information!

how about a 5c collet adapter and drawbar? adapter is on ebay, and you can make or buy the drawbar.

not an ideal solution, but if it has to get done.... (or cut the dead center from a piece of stock in the 3 jaw)
 
Do you have a L-OO or a L-O spindle? I have an original L-O from a 6900,but the L-OO sleeves are gone. The L-OO sleeve closes a 5C collet, not sure on the L-O. This is the original aluminum part supplied by Clausing for the drawbar or lever closers.Let me know if this is what you are looking for.--David
 
Fred,
Are you looking for the Morse 4.5 to 3 adapter sleeve?
The 6900 series lathes all have a Morse 4-1/2 size bore (I think).
The 6900 I have came with an adapter sleeve with MT4.5 on the OD and MT3 on the ID. That gets you to a more standard MT3 for which premade centers are widely available.
I have seen these adapter sleeves from time to time on Ebay. Right now, the only thing I find that is close is a MT4.5 blank that you could turn to a center.

For $25, it might be worth a try. Set up your compound for a 60 deg center and start turning. Looks like the blank is long enough that you could re-make the center several times.

For my Clausing 4914 I simply purchased a drill sleeve that went from MT4 to MT2. However I think I've come to realize a spindle reducer is a different animal. From what I can gather they are significantly shorter than a drill sleeve since they don't have the tang and the cross hole for the drill drift.

I've also never seen a MT4.5 sleeve.
 
they have them, Clausng made a 4.5 morse taper for their 5900 series spindles (i have one and will take a pic). The tell tale is that the 4.5 morse taper is 1.5 inches diameter at the large end. They have them on ebay from time to time, you do have to watch and be patient. Joe from Plaza Machinery may ahve one too (I've never had a bad deal with Joe, he is a good guy)

I actually have a collet closer for what I believe is 5c, I never acquired the collets.

I have the L-OO spindle, what I am looking for is the reducer sleeve to run a dead center in the headstock.
Thanks for reply

I believe you are correct, I will look into Morse taper blank.
Thanks so much for your response.

Thanks, that would be great, I have only seen one in the Clausing owners manual. I will check out Plazamachinery.
Thanks so much
