My Clausing 100 mk 3 Serial# 5396

Mike sorry for confusion. I was referring end of lathe bed mounts - headstock end / tailstock end.
 
okay, thanks for clearing that up! At my age I am easily confused! rotflmao!! HAHAHA
 
Well did not get much done this weekend. This mill followed me home on Saturday. Been looking for a ‘A1S’ style milling machine for a year now. A week ago this mill was only posted on CL for 27 minutes when I found it. Contacted the seller immediately and she agree to give me first shot. The mill is a 1979 Select Machine Tool model 1/2V 7x30” knee mill made in Taiwan With a lot of tooling.

Bought a HF 1T shop crane and a HF 8T air/hydraulic jack. Modified with five foot 2” x 3/16” square tubing the extend the reach and height. Lock all the travels and check for backlash with very little movement. Lead screws are adjustable split nuts. Forgot to take any pictures moving it.

You know what we have to say about a score like that!!!

Looks a lot like my Rockwell, but with three pulleys. Is it a knee mill?

Yes it is a knee mill. I heard the Taiwan A1S design is based on Clausing 8520 and Rockwell 100 design. Some people call these mills (Husky VOS-A1S, Enco 100-5100 / 100-5200, Grizzly 1004/1008/0728-0731, HF 40939, Jet JVM-830 & 836, etc) Clausing 8520 clones. These mills are still being produced...

Here is a better view after I unloaded.

SCORE! That is great! With tooling to boot! Good for you. Looks to be in good shape.
Now the tunnel really opens up for you to fall in. What's next DRO? LOL.
Ask me how I know!
 
Not sure why my computer seems to put up multiples of my posts.. sorry

Hi Mike,

A DRO would be on the short list after getting the mill cleaned up and back together. Perfect opportunity using the mill to machine the brackets for DRO. No more cave man mill with grinders, hand files and table saws.

I am moving this post to my new thread over in the ASIAN LATHES & MILLS - My ‘new’ Select 1/2V Milling Machine

I've been doing a bunch or research suddenly on DRO's... my .."uncle"... sent me some monies! LOL
 
Another update finish doing basic leveling today.

Leveling using a Starrett 98 6” level. Not getting consisting reading vee way to vee way with a flat to flat way (using 123 blocks) reading. Used the tailstock base as a sled to get the bed trued. Followed up with level shimmed on carriage at headstock and traveled down to the tailstock with bubble in same position several times.

Calling this good enough. Possible level might drift after using the lathe - will recheck later on. So now good enough to do the two-collar test. In process now reassembling rest of the lathe.
