Not a clue. Will have to look after lunch. Will try to figure it out later.I'm pretty sure the spanner is for the nose protector.
is this spindle a cam type of lathe, or is the chuck threaded on

I like that lathe I have been looking for one just like itHello. I'm new to the forum and new to lathes. Bought an atlas 3950( and everything I could find for it) and have been having a blast with it!!! I just purchased a clausing 6913 for 400.00. They wanted 300.00 but I figured it was worth more than that so I gave a little extra to them. "They wanted it to go to a good home and put a few bucks in the trust fund" A friend of mine passed away and it was his. I have very little experience with lathes and have some questions on it. I need a few more posts to put pictures out there so if I spam this thread a little bit I apologize in advance. I cant even plug it in yet, need to get my electrician over here to see what we have. Any pro's and cons you guys know of with this lathe? Once I get enough posts Ill put some pics out and see what you guys can tell me. Thank you.

I think you have the L-OO taper on that chuckI found where the spindle wrench goes- It fits the "Face Plate Nut" Not sure if its left or right hand thread on the nut. Cant tell.
I'm not sure if its a threaded or tapered spindle yet(thinking if I got the face plate nut loose I could get the chuck off and figure that out) I did however look at the 2 jaw chuck(what are they you used for? Something special? Seen 3 or more jaw chucks, but never a two) and it is tapered with a keyway in it so I assume the spindle is tapered. The 2 jaw has right hand male threads on it.
The manual I have is identical to the manual in the download section except for one page showing the base is in mine twice instead of just once in your manual. Collets I will look into later. No need for them that I'm aware for me right now but would like to know what they are. I would be happy to email the manual I have if you want. Send me your address in a PM.
The motor is 3 phase(at least that what it says on the plate, I'm a mechanic, not an electrician so if I'm lying its certainly not intentional )
I believe it is a 14 x 48. I just got it unloaded last night and work is in the way of doing anything with it so I'm sure there will be more questions later. LOTS of cleaning to do on it.
Will put a pic up of specs on electrical box shortly.
