Clausing 5904 Info
- Thread starter RandyM
- Start date
The Clausing metric threading kit is not available. They don’t seem to come up used very often. Clausing will send you the drawings for most of the parts. But an electronic lead screw may be a better use of time and money. I’m in the same boat with my 5913.
Hehe, I still have my Grizzly G0602 because I want to be able to metric thread if desired. I’d probably get a die and do it on my Clausing anyway.
I really would like to set up an ELS.
Have you looked into motor and control options? I might be game to do that too. I've seen a complete cnc package somewhere but that is definitely cost prohibitive. dro and speed control with preset capability would interest me tho if not too many $$$

The most common problem with electronic lead screws is that too many people buy the cheapest lowest resolution TAC that they can find. Or worse, try to used a single sensor that is the equivalent of a one-line TAC.

I think that this is the place that we bought the most recent 1000-line rotary encoders from. Of course, that is far from the only part that you will need. However, they probably have more than just rotary encoders. I tried to delete all but the name and address but for some reason, it wouldn't delete.
