Clausing Colchester 13 Steady and Follow Rest

[Defender92]

Hey guys. I recently purchased this Clausing Colchester 13” from a local high school. I’m in the process of cleaning it up and getting the broken knobs / levers replaced. And changing the oil hopefully soon.

I’m also looking for a steady rest and follow rest. There are quite a few on eBay that the seller doesn’t know what they fit. Can anyone post a photo of the steady and follow for this lathe?? Are there any casting numbers or anything?

Or does anyone have a better source for these than eBay?

Thanks in advance!

That’s a great lathe.
I have the same in a 15X50.

Your model should have the same style steady and follow rest.

You might also try calling Clausing @ 800-323-0972. I don't know how good their support of the Colchester's is but on Atlas, they still have drawings dating back into the 1930's. They may even have one or both still in stock. However, if they do you had probably best be sitting down when they tell you the price. Their pricing policy usually seems to be based upon what it would cost them to restock in today's market..

I would go back to the school and see if the bits could be had ....maybe for a donation.
