I have a Hardinge (actually Elgin) split bed which has been very good for me to learn on, but is a little limited. The spindle hole on the headstock is right at the limit for barrel work, and there is no threading capability.
I came across this Clausing whith is listed as 13" with 48" between centers. Since I know nothing about Clausings, can you offer advice as to whether this is worth purusing?
I have a machinist buddy who can help me determine if the lathe is in good shape, but I didn't want to call him until I knew if it was worth going to look at.
Thanks
Chuck
