Hi all you Clausing fans out there. This is my new acquisition which I think I have identified as a 12" 100 series mk3a, according to information found at www.lathes.co.uk and some other sites.
These older Clausings seem to be notoriously difficult to identify
I cant complain though, for $200 I think I got a good deal.
I would like to put a taper turning attachment on it (or make one), does anyone have one that I could get a picture of? Any information on this lathe would be much appreciated as I plan on refurbishing it (it needs a few things sorted before it can be used anyway). Perhaps going as far as hand scraping the bed although I my be biting off more than I can chew there. I will look at that later on after I get it up and running.
