My Clausing 100 mk 3 Serial# 5396

[Janderso]

Bought new split nut from Clausing

I bet that was pricey. I think I would feel better having new parts for that item.
Your Clausing is looking really good. Lots of work i bet

Here it is... Yeah I could fab this total from scratch with trial and error fitting it. But having some basic dimension would help.
This is on a low priority right now.

Ahhh OKAY. Let me see what we can do in making a readable print that shows basic dimensions and then we can fine tune it to what you'll need. Have you tried finding one used? I'm sure you've looked but I have'ta ask. LOL..

Have you tried calling Clausing and first determine whether or not they still stock the part or not. If they do, you can buy it or not, but don;t bother asking for the drawing. If they don't still have the part, then ask whether they have the drawing. If they do, they will probably email you either a TIF or a PDF scan of it.

How about if you started with something like this?

Split nuts was pricey but money well spent. With the new apron, will only use it for thread cutting. Yes a lot of work but 20 years of things I wanted to do. Spent a lot of time right now working on the cabinet.

I was hoping that Clausing had a drawing but Tom said it was NLA and he could not find a drawing. I have seen some else online who fabricate one and you could not tell any difference from original. Focus right now getting cabinet done and painted.

Would appreciate. Just asking if anyone has this lathe with QCGB to trace out the cover and a few dimensions would help. Also though about reusing the back halve of the original cover and build off that. Some thing unique.

As I was saying focus on the cabinet while I have day light and have been working on the electrical when dark in the shop.

The cabinet is almost ready to paint. Would have loved to sand blast/epoxy primer the cabinet but spending to much time on this project.

Well have the electrical all worked out and test on my bench last night. Using my $50 1 HP Baldor 3Ph 1750 rpm motor with my first VFD. Made an offer on eBay for XinShuang Yuan "XSY-AT1-1500S" (3HP 8A 1.5KW 220V VFD Single To 3 Phase). The inverter defaults close enough to work right out of the box.

You said you were in no hurry so I haven't started.. just let me know when you're ready to go.I am also going to ask you another question.. In my "parlance" the quick change gearbox is mounted on the lower left front of the lathe. But I am understanding that you wish to replicate the cover on the end / far left, where the tumbler change gears are.

Am I understanding this correctly? You want the end cover over the gears left end?

I assume you have same lathe. You are correct that I am in no hurry to fab the gear train cover. Just what to get the lathe back together so I can move on and wrap some other projects.

Have a Cub Cadet garden tractor converting to power steering and finish up the 10 x 16 deck replacement. Waiting on new aluminum railing which should be two weeks.

Took some picture this evening...

Any one using a XinShuang Yuan "XSY-AT1-1500S" VFD?
