Look what followed me home today Clausing 8520
I saw this ad on CL Saturday morning while I was having my coffee .
Milling Machine (redwood city) 3/01/2013
A UNITED Machine Tools Company milling machine. These are made in the USA and were very good quality. This one is pretty old and we just don't have room for it anymore. It was undergoing a rebuild so it is partially dissembled. It needs new bearings, and it is missing one piece. Email if interested.
It turned out to be a Clausing 8520 with MT2 collets and original 3/4 hp 3 phase motor
So I emailed not expecting an answer back since it was posted Friday
next thing I know he call I ask what are you looking to get for it and he said he figured it was worth $50.00 in scrap I told him to delete the ad I'll take it . I gave him a 50 and they loaded it with a forklift
for me it needs bearings and the X axis gib .
I plan to clean it up and use it 50 bucks
