Here is an interesting Clausing 8530 Vertical Mill on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/clausing-ve...775?pt=US_Heavy_Equipment&hash=item43bffcecc7
It is missing the front and mid belt guards, knee crank handle, and I don't see the handwheel for the quill feed. How do people loose such parts? Looks like everything else is there including the three step pulleys. There is an extra rear belt guard. Motor is not original Clausing fare. Current bit is $510. It could be a real bargain at that price depending on the condition. Looks to be pretty decent. The seller says it is in good condition.
Location is Southbridge, Massachusetts, too far away for me to look at it. Ends today, 9/30/2013 at 7:55 PM EDT.
I see the quill depth scale now. It is there. And, the bushing for the quill feed handwheel is there but I do not see the handwheel itself which was a chrome plated diecasting. There looks to be one extra table/saddle/knee lockscrew seen to the left of the crossfeed screw's cast iron bearing housing at the front of the knee, third and fifth photos. I am pretty sure that one does not belong there. However, the threaded hole it is in is original to the machine. There was only a total of four lockscrews and I see five in the photos. There would be two lockscrews for the knee, one for the saddle, and one for the table. The one for the saddle is at the left side of the saddle, mostly hidden, under the saddle. You can only see the end of it's handle in the third photo. There is also one extra step pulley sitting on top of the machine's cabinet at the right front that does not belong to the machine. It probably came with the Leeson motor. The motor has the correct pulley for the machine on it. And, the jackshaft pulley assembly is sitting on the top of the cabinet at the right rear. There is no middle belt guard. That was an extra cost option There are eight collets, probably MT2 but maybe not a matched set, and a nice, clean looking, but not heavy duty or fancy, 4" swivel vise sitting on the table. The original Furnas drum switch/control for the machine is sitting on the table. Two bidders so far. eBay item number is 290983832775
